She also probably wouldn't care about pursuing an award like this, but I think she would graciously accept it if it were offered.

I agree there aren't many women in bands who have done what Christine has and it is probably due to her liking just to be "one of the boys" that has caused her lack of recognition.
I still don't think that many women would name her as a role model
