If you take a look at pop music over the years, you'll find that women have mostly held their own. Right from the time of doo-wop groups like The Chordettes in the 1950s to Madonna to Adele or Taylor Swift, female pop stars have gone on to become household names across the world. Rock music, too, has had a Janice Joplin or Grace Slick being given similar credit as Bob Dylan or Lou Reed.
Even jazz and soul have boasted the likes of Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald. But here's a toughie: name an electronic female artiste who's enjoyed the same level of success as, say, Daft Punk or Calvin Harris. Go on. Take your time. And if you're still struggling, it's because of the simple reason that electronica has largely been considered to be the preserve of male DJs.
