Changing those kinds of mindsets is possible. It's been demonstrated that if people are presented with positive images of successful women, that will help people to have a positive association between women and leadership success. So, having more women in responsible positions, more women MPs, more women heads of universities, and more women on boards of directors, and having those women available in media and other events linking to younger women will help young women see themselves in those roles. It does make a difference. That has been demonstrated.
