You are kind of misplacing your argument. Women are excellent entrepreneurs and in Canada are doing very well, with over 1 million, representing over 40% of business owners. Additionally, women are excelling in medial professions of all kinds, from doctors and nurses to specialize medical technicians. I think techs biggest problem is that it is not that attractive to be in for these smart and entrepreneurial women (men too). It's a problem for tech, but not a problem for women, who are doing great in other sectors that are doing more meaningful work. Look at the hippest tech companies in Canada and ask yourself why a woman who could be doing important work in medical and getting paid more, or has a law degree and can help her community with meaningful work or an experience business professional who can work for any organization she wants; why would she want to work for a company that makes apps?
