  Pugh attempts to explain why women play subordinate or restricted roles in the fields of performance, composition, conducting, the music technology industry and music teaching, despite better records at school for performance and better examination results than boys. She argues that while some of the reasons are historical, reflecting the status of women in society in general, a major contributing factor is the lack of positive images presented to children.
