I've never understood why careers need these "role models" of sorts. If I was interested in doing something career-wise, I'd base my decision on what the job actually entailed, not on whether the people in the role were male or female.
I totally agree- I mean, I want to be a commercial pilot because I love aeroplanes and the industry etc., not because I look at a female pilot and think 'mmmm, I want to be like her!'.
