Get constructive feedback from her high school history teacher and both her parents. And any other trusted, educated adults in her life. No need to crowdsource. But did you try Googling? Maybe there's some value here?

Most of these majors are women. Look at stats for the college on college raptor. Women are a dime a dozen.

Leadership in regular school clubs will also help.
