Recruiting, retaining, and growing a stronger base of women in the recording studio can’t happen if women aren’t looked at as equals, she says. “Women are sexualized and stereotyped, they are dismissed, and they are not seen as leaders in their roles,” Pieper says, citing issues women have reported to them in previous studies.
