Do women not trust our own strength?

4. Yes, definitely. .

A lot are simple unaware of the circumstances they find themselves in and just accept it as the norm. If all those around you are behaving a certain way and have been for a while they may not know that it is actually not normal and should not be accepted. Many women don't ask for raises so they don't get them. Many simply do not know that their male counterparts go after raises and get them that way. This is just a small example of course.

I guess it depends on your environment, how you were raised, etc. If you are around strong women it rubs off. You share experiences and gain knowledge and awareness happens as a result.
