We truly hope that this episode will actually give a boost to the self-esteem of female singers, and we discuss the various psychological and physical consequences of a stream of rejection. We would particularly like to thank Zach Finkelstein, Dana Lynne Varga and Hillary Le Bonte for their excellent research on the subject of women's exclusion from opera.
