“Women often choose courses of study that promise them a certain amount of personal freedom. You find a lot of women in self-employed, highly qualified professions, and there are a lot of successful female lawyers, notaries and scientists.

They would be delighted if we could present more female top-class people. Women are in demand,” she says.
