along these lines?????
understanding gender issues enables women better to fulfil their potential

: with the ending - fulfill potential et se valoriser en tant que femme does not match in meaning

: yes, also prefer second suggestion. I don't have a problem with "valorise" instead of "value", but it depends on how intellectual the context is.

: I liked your phrasing best, but unfortunately it should be "value" not "evaluate". Could this be an example of being inhibited about valuing oneself as a woman??

helps women to value and validate themselves.
Since we're talking "gender issues" why not use another handy catchword "validate"? (as in proving validity, worth).
"as women" at the end would be redundant, and is implied anyway by "themselves"
