In her now infamous letter to the conductor of the Boston Symphony in 1943, Florence wrote, “To begin with I have two handicaps – those of sex and race. I am a woman; and I have some Negro blood in my veins. Knowing the worst, then, would you be good enough to hold in check the inclination to regard a woman’s composition as long on emotionalism but short on virility and thought content; until you shall have examined some of my work? As to the handicap of race, may I relieve you by saying that I neither expect nor ask any concession on that score. I should like to be judged on merit alone.”
