I've actually seen this in interviews, and yes, it is discussed. It's not a professional communications style. It's not just women, though.
On a related note, some women are unfortunate to have very childlike voices, particularly younger women, and while it's cute socially, I think it also hurts them professionally. An employee and I were on a call a while back, and the woman who answered the phone sounded so astoundingly young that my (female) employee and I exchanged glances about it. When we got off the phone, my employee cracked me up by saying, "I almost asked, 'is your mother home'"?
