There's the problem - Jimmy Page wasn't an analogue of a female guitarist - he built on many other male guitarists that went before him but also added his own innovations and creativity that makes his work so recognisable. A post feminist world needs more women to have the confidence to create from a feminine muse works that add to the repertoire rather than trying to emulate male style and expressions.

It's a tough call, Sister Rosetta Tharpe vs. Nancy Wilson; Nancy isn't about flash, style, shredding, or sex, she's completely serious about music, but she manages to remain feminine without the corset and leotard look of many... besides, how many other female lead guitarists wear dresses on stage? AND, if and when she retires--if she actually DOES retire--she will have earned a well-deserved #1 female guitarist ranking, to say nothing of already being in the top 5 of all guitarists, male OR female.
