I think that woman are definitely coming into their own in our field. The other posting was about grand teachers, and as we saw in that board, most of those are people who were active in the mid-20th century, around the time that some of the first females were appearing in major American symphonies. In 20 years or so, a similar discussion on this board will include a much higher percentage of woman. This is also because of how much larger the higher music education system has become. It seems as if 40 years ago, everyone that had a post went to Juilliard or Curtis or somewhere similar, and as a result, they all studied with the same few people, which were the players, predominantly if not entirely male, of the large orchestras in their respective city. That is not quite as true these days.
