Agree but it goes deeper as Empowerment involves Trust with the opportunity to responsibly to exercise it. My Father demonstrated this one way by giving my mother full control of the Family's finances; monthly expenses, bill payments, and investing of the savings. He trusted my Mother to be responsible and rewarded it often.
In the working world a woman can have that education, skill or talent but without the chance to prove her education and skills there would be hardly any empowerment. The woman just needs the opportunity to prove she can be more than capable of handling and even surpass the job.
Confidence, fulfillment and personal achievement lead to empowerment.

I agree with you 100%. Women must be given the chance to prove themselves. If opportunity isn't there, they remain in the shadows, the most brilliant minds.
But then it keeps going backwards to the root of the problem.
Opportunity comes about if oppression and denial that the female is of equal rights to receive the opportunity. Many countries prove they don't believe so. Without that pathway to equality, empowerment will never be realized.
