This is Helen Reddington's new book on women producers and engineers in 
the UK:

https://www.equinoxpub.com/home/shes-at-the-controls/

She's at the Controls; Sound Engineering, Production and Gender 
Ventriloquism in the 21st Century; Helen Reddington - Equinox Publishing 
<https://www.equinoxpub.com/home/shes-at-the-controls/>

She’s at the Controls gives a socio-historical examination of the roles 
of women studio professionals in the UK music industry. At the heart of 
the book are interviews conducted over six years with 30 female studio 
practitioners at different stages of their careers and working in 
different genres of popular music including reggae, hip hop and pop. The 
edited interviews are followed by an in-depth exploration of the often 
unseen and unacknowledged gender rules of music industry practice (both 
personal and technical) that underpin popular music etiquette. A range 
of supporting material from academic works to technical publications and 
popular music journalism is used to expand and critique the discourse. 
She’s at the Controls will appeal to everyone interested in new 
developments in the music industry, as it recalibrates itself in 
response to current challenges to its traditional gender stereotypes.
