Most things women rally around was never truly illegal, it was just looked down upon and people weren't willing to give it much support. So what often happened is they couldn't use their daddy's/husband's money to get started, and without that most women never go anywhere.
Those who had the skills and passion to actually succeed, always just blew through that social shaming and went on to their greatness if they could. Just like it is for men.
That's what I always say about these 'Encourage women in X' programs. The kind of women who will actually succeed in X don't need encouragement, they will triumph through their own passion and will. All that ends up happening is you cram these things full of mediocre women who don't really have any deep desire to be there, and will quit at the first whiff of adversity.
