Why is being a woman so important it is part of the title? Do women have a harder time learning? Is it a bigger accomplishment when a woman does it? Are people more fascinated by the fact that a _woman_ was able to code? I know, whenever I hear that a woman learned to code, I immediately think 'holy cow! no way! I wouldn't have cared if a man learned to code, but this was a woman. I better read this article.'
Do titles like this make girls feel empowered or does it make them feel like only super-women can program because if a woman learns to program, it is worthy of magazine article. If I was a young girl and I saw articles like 'I'm a woman, and I learned to program!' I'd probably feel like 'geez, it really takes a lot of work for a woman to be a programmer and it is so rare that whenever it happens they write articles about it.'
