A woman’s role is not only to support others. For one thing, woman must fulfill many mitzvos that have nothing to do with supporting others (brachos, tefilah, taharat hamispachah, studying enough Torah to be able to be observant herself, etc.).
Hundreds of years ago in Eastern Europe, many Yiddish books of prayers and supplications and so on were printed for women (some written by rabbis, others by women). We learn from this that a woman’s spirituality itself is a valuable thing (not just a tool for someone else’s growth).
Rav S.R. Hirsch’s granddaughter was the first female professor of medicine in Germany. He also encouraged the general intellectual development of women.
Even the Lubavitcher Rebbe said that there is nothing wrong with a woman pursuing a career, though he said that this take place after the children are grown. Women tend to enter nurturing professions, but not exclusively, and to be sure there have been frum women scientists who have contributed important scientific advancements to the world. (I know of one, for example, that discovered a gene involved in a deadly childhood disease, which can allow for screening).
Everyone has their own special mission in life. Many contemporary rabbis have said that we should pay attention to what mitzvos most challenge us, or most interest us, or what ever else that we are drawn to, and consider how accomplishing these things may be part of our mission in life.
This is no different for men and women. For sure, women tend to have raising children and performing many acts of gemilus chasadim as part of their mission, and men have studying Torah and public davening as part of their mission. But that is not all. The Torah does not demand conformity among all men or among all women. Every has to find their own way of serving Hashem, in additional to fulfilling the minimum requirements of their place in life.
