I'm not a young woman so it's hard for me to say, but it looks to me like people are doing a much better job of encouraging young women to program. There are lots of programs to support women in CS. On the other hand, I don't know how effectively these solve the deeper cultural problems where it's not considered "normal" for girls to be interested in coding.
I have a lot of female coding friends, we grew up together and one of the biggest barriers they had when we were at university was from their female friends. Suggesting that their choice would stop them from getting a husband and they would turn into a basement dweller.
This was the normal situation for most of the women I graduated with, huge pressure from their female social groups to not do programming. On the flip side, they had lots of friends in the course because it was a massive sausage party. The point is the hardest thing they had to do was overcome all the vitriol being slung at them from their own gender.
