When I was a young girl and did well in science and math, my 4th grade teacher said, "You don't have to be just a housewife, you can be a nurse, teacher or executive secretary." My brother, with similar scores, was told, "You can be a doctor, lawyer or engineer." I don't know whether times have changed for the better for women in every way, but I do think girls have more opportunities than they once had.
