Has already been done in the Polgar family, e.g.:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judit_Polg%C3%A1r

The article has some quotations about Judits opinion:

"I always say that women should have the self-confidence that they are as good as male players, but only if they are willing to work and take it seriously as much as male players."

and after a tournsment in 1988 (12yo)

"These other girls are not serious about chess...I practice five or six hours a day, but they get distracted by cooking and work around the house."

Well, no, it hasn't, because whatever the one family does can't change society at large and the messages/treatment women receive from it. The quotes you provide are examples of that.
