By incorporating different styles, larger audiences have been reached but such wide scale success has to be down to more that that. For Shania, the rise of female musicians' matches the success women are achieving in other fields. And she's happy to be a part of a new generation with new ideals. But I think in general, not just in North America but in many places today, women are excelling in so many different fields. Music is just no exception.
Entertainment is no exception.
So you're seeing more women rise to the surface in careers that ten years ago would be very unusual. Perhaps surgeons and politics, whatever, in sports. A lot of things were really ten or twenty years ago, I mean ten years ago really would have been considered a mans world. Now you see al these women just rising to the top. Sometimes more women then men.
