I really enjoyed learning about Margie Hyams, I hadn't heard of her before! The interview with her was fascinating, especially concerning Woody Herman. On one hand, he gave Margie a great opportunity, but then on the other he was blind to the sexism and harassment she received from the band. I read similar interviews by mariachi musicians who received support from male ensemble leaders but then experienced harassment that went unseen by that same ensemble leader. The description of the situation by Hyams was so similar to the interviews I read by mariachi musicians, it took me by surprise. I guess I shouldn't have been so surprised, though, since that was the situation for many, many female musicians.
