My teachers recommended that I study economics and statistics as my A­level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts. In fact, I was a victim of a gender_stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects. Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “It's great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do？” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions. A survey recently showed that three of the best­paid jobs for women are in the technology sector. It's a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code and these days it's as important as reading and writing. I've realized that at university I'd achieved the wrong kind of literacy. Not being able to code limit your impact on the world far more than an ignorance of great literature. Now I have a five­year­old daughter. I don't want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. I'm exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem­solving skills. I'm hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potentials in science and want to change the world. 语篇导读：本文为夹叙夹议文。作者以自己的经历告诉读者，女性也应该学习理科，不要拘泥于传统的性别观念。 1．What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in paragraph 2 refer to?
