Marin Alsop breaks the glass baton
csmonitor.com: "Tomorrow Marin Alsop will shatter the glass baton. As she steps onto the podium for her inaugural concert as Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO), Ms. Alsop becomes the first woman to assume the leadership of a major American symphony. The baton she will grasp will be a simple wooden one, worn and slightly crooked, handcrafted by her father."

I really enjoyed learning more about her life and her accomlishments, but once again I didn't like the way some focus was brought upon her being one of the first women to do so. Although this is a great accomplishment, I feel that sometimes, acknowledging something like that negates the whole equality idea in the first place. Regardless, very interesting article.
