I think Scully in the X-Files also inspired a lot of girls to study STEM.

Scully was always wrong, though. Is that really who people wanted to become?

I wouldn't say she was always wrong. I get her methodology wasn't always right or appealing, but she did inspire a lot of girls, which is a good thing.
