"Why are female record producers so rare?" na bbc.co.uk

Zastanawialiście się kiedyś, czemu jest tak mało producentek? Nie, ja też nie. Ale odpowiedzi na to pytanie są całkiem ciekawe.

(...) Prof Rogers believes the problem is more basic. "The bottom line is, women aren't interested," she says.

"Right now, I currently teach engineering and production; and I also teach psychoacoustics and music cognition. In the psychology topics, the students are half women and half men. But in production and engineering, maybe one out of every 10 students is a young woman."

In the UK the situation is the same. The Music Producers' Guild says less than 4% of its members are women. And the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts says only 6% of the students enrolled on its sound technology course are female. That figure hasn't changed for three years.

Yet the problem seems to be restricted to rock and pop. In the theatre, in Hollywood, in radio there are dozens of female sound engineers. Roughly one-quarter of the BBC's sound mixers are women.
