I think that attitudes like this are part of what allowed Holmes to con so many people for so long. As well-intentioned as it is, your hope for the young women of tech to be inspired has nothing to do with the veracity of Theranos' claims. A lot of the breathless fluff pieces on Theranos focused on Holme's gender instead of the technology.
