The Evolution and Influence of Ragtime Music in Women's History

This overview explores the historical significance of ragtime music, which emerged as a modification of the popular marches by John Philip Sousa. Characterized by its syncopated rhythm and African musical influences, ragtime typically adheres to a 2/4 or 4/4 time signature with distinctive patterns in the left hand. The genre not only highlights the creative contributions of women in music history, particularly during its peak, but also reflects broader cultural shifts. The term "ragtime" itself is thought to derive from the "ragged or syncopated rhythm" of its unique melodic structure.

According to some sources the name "ragtime" may come from the "ragged or syncopated rhythm" of the right hand
