There's more to it than that though. She is talking about hacking not just in the context of programming, but in a range of activities that may lead somebody to program on their own. It's more about the spirit of it. It's possible to be a hacker making web pages, learning what the markup can do, building whatever level of interactivity you could without 'proper programming.' And, possibly, the most important part of it was the 'thrill' you got out of it. Of course there may be women in her example that take to their first LUG meeting and go on to become hackers, but assuming that that will be the result, and planning entire social movements accordingly, seems like a bad bet.
