Description
Introduction I used to believe that gender was the issue that held me back from moving forward in my career, Conducting. Conducting has been largely a man's arena. But the old gender conflict represented in the tennis match between Bobbi Riggs vs. Billy Jean King is no longer relevant, either in sports or music. What is relevant is that the individual (in my case, a woman) perceives that what she is capable of is of equal benefit to herself and her career, and that she is responsible for what she produces. It is my argument, that what would be a very convenient excuse for women, gender inequality in higher education and elsewhere, is really not the pink elephant in the room.
