SoundGirls.org: The iconic scene of a woman bringing a chair in the middle of a concert to watch and learn the conducting of an orchestra by a famous male conductor, and then being expelled from the place, showed me how bravely this woman tried to pursue her dream. This scene could be from a movie today, but it happened almost 100 years ago, in 1926, in New York, and the woman portrayed was Antonia Brico in her biographical film “The Conductor” (2018), which I highly recommend.

Coming into this school from a girl school, the realization in how unequal the society is in gender equality is scary and how people would still have discriminations to what people identify themselves as. Being an Asian women within the American society is truly hard and often have conflicts with the education that I have received throughout my lifetime. I have always believed in the idea that people should have the freedom in identifying in what they want as it is their freedom and right to do so. Which that is also what I though the general society believed in too. But sometimes, I would hear or see things that are unjust purely due to the gender of the person who is doing that. This is such a big issue that will cause long lasting effects within the society. It is really sad to see these things happen now and thoughout history.
