“I’ve been asked to play for an all women’s orchestra,” Julia announced.
Her father looked startled. “A women’s orchestra?” he exclaimed.
“Yes! They needed a violinist. Isn’t it wonderful?”
Before he could reply, her brother, Julian chimed in, “A women’s orchestra?” he scoffed. “Good heavens, what will they think of next?”
Julia glared at him. “We’re just as good as men when it comes to conducting and playing music.”
Julian looked unconvinced. “That remains to be seen.”
“We’ll show you and all the other chauvinists,” Julia declared.
The women’s orchestra played to sold out crowds worldwide and won several Grammys.

Notes to Women 
Dear Adele,
Good for her and good for the orchestra. Music is music no matter who’s doing the playing. Nicely done.
Shalom,

Dear Rochelle,
I agree with you. There are great female musicians as there are great male musicians. I had fun writing this story.
Shalom,
Adele

Of course the orchestra was a success. Women still have to try twice as hard.

That’s the sad reality, Tracey. No matter how much we have advanced, women still have to prove themselves.
