Slightly Off-topic
In that this mostly refers to jazz musicians, but The Girls in the Band is worth your time and attention. Interviews and stories from women who played brass and wood winds, who composed and arranged, who were faced with, well, the same crap women get faced with.

Note: There's an assertion that rock 'n' roll killed big band music. Historically, the big bands were largely done in by post-WWII economics and ASCAP/BMI royalty issues, and the direction jazz took toward "cool" jazz, which worked better with smaller ensembles. Rock was just the last nail.
