California, since 1992. She has been a conductor in many music groups.
Furthermore, on September 25, 2005, Alsop became the first ever conductor to
receive a MacArthur Fellowship. Due to her amazing talent, she had got many achievements as a conductor or even as a violinist.
"The hardest thing for me is always to
get a big sound from the orchestra without being very demanding or apologizing," she said. "As a woman, if you're too aggressive people
think: 'She's so overpowering.' But if a man does the same gesture, it's
regarded as strong and virile . . . Also, when you're delicate, as a woman
sometimes you're interpreted as being lightweight. Men don't get that." (http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2011/mar/08/marin-alsop-100-women)

From her short story
provided above, we can conclude that women are also able to do many things that
used to be done by men. As Marin Alsop, she is able to succeed in music as a
great conductor even though it rarely happens among women. However, she did it
because she believe in her ability. Thus, keep on working!
