On Women Conductors

"Once, when I said I was a conductor, someone exclaimed, 'Oh, I love trains!' That was an unusual response, if only because the number of women driving trains seems about as small as the number driving orchestras."
--Marietta Cheng, "Women Conductors: Has the Train Left the Station?"

"No matter how hard I tried, I could not be the same"
--Marietta Cheng, "Women Conductors: Has the Train Left the Station?"
