Yes, I agree that being a private pilot is more expensive today than it was 36 years ago! Add aviation fuel costs. Yes, women can be good pilots too. Today, you need to really love hobbies like flying and amateur radio to keep going at them. As many aviation stories as Nataliya does, she should take up flying or get an portable aviation radio ( receiver ). Most countries that prohibit police scanner radios allow aviation radios (often included on many AM-FM-Shortwave radios).
