Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel was discouraged from pursuing a career as a composer primarily due to the societal norms of the 19th century, which often restricted women’s roles in the arts. Her family, especially her brother Felix Mendelssohn, supported her talent but believed that societal expectations necessitated her focusing on domestic responsibilities rather than a professional career in music. Despite her prolific output and talent, she faced significant barriers, resulting in her works being largely published under her brother's name.
