    "Ewa Strusinska became the first female assistant conductor in the U.K. earlier this year"

    It's not quite as bad as that - I can think of 3 female conductors in the UK before Ewa Strusinska: Marin Alsop was principal conductor of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra from 2002 to 2008, Jane Glover has been a professional conductor since 1975 (London Mozart Players, Glyndebourne, etc), and Sian Edwards since 1986.
