To be honest I've been both terrified and incredibly curious myself to seek her thoughts on this subject. In part because the reply might not match what I have in mind. I know we all want women to thrive in software and there is absolutely no reason for a skilled person like her to simply drop out, especially not after the serious effort that was put in. Part of me is sadden by the thought that we may not have the next female equivalent of Linus Torvalds, because we somehow failed to make CS a welcoming field for minorities.
