In 2007, 28 percent of doctors in the United States were women. In 2019, the number was 36 percent. These statistics could be used to support which statement about gender roles in the United States?

The share of doctors who were women increased from 28 percent in 2007 to 36 percent in 2019. This suggests that women have gained greater access to a profession once more strongly associated with men, supporting the idea that restrictive cultural views about gender roles are lessening. The increase does not show that gender equality has been fully reached.
