Right, I should clarify this: it's also about changing the way we think about programmers in pop culture. Currently that is: Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg, who does his thing. It would be great to have some different stories, in which women are included and which also depicts the daily experience of programmers more correctly: that it's about teamwork.

I'm not saying women need that. In the case of bringing women to learn coding it's more about breaking up existing believes how programmers look like, have role models in pop culture, etc.
