Self-made Men/Women

[Bobbert]

One on-line translator translates, “we are self-made men” as “somos hombres hechos a sí mismos, and another translator translates it as “somos hombres hechos a nosotros mismos.”

Are both correct?

The translators do the same thing for “we are self-made women.” One translates it as “somos mujeres hechas a sí mismas,” and the other translator suggests “somos mujeres hechas a nosotros mismas."

Are both correct?

And If “somos mujeres hechas a nosotros mismas" is correct, why is it not “somos mujeres hechas a nosotras mismas"?

Any input with explanations is appreciated.

Since this is a concept that has been popularized from English-speaking business coaches, the translation as "hecho a sí mismo" will work, although I would prefer "forjado a sí mismo". If you want to speak to us elders, we might prefer a longer alternative like "persona que ha prosperado/triunfado a partir de su propio esfuerzo/talento", "...que ha logrado el éxito por méritos propios", "...que ha labrado su fortuna con su propio trabajo".

As for "hechas a sí mismas"/"...nosotras mismas", I still prefer "forjadas".
And I will let someone else have the last word about this, but if I see "hechas a sí mismas", I understand they became individually successful, and "hechas a nosotras mismas", I would think their collective effort made them a successful group of women.
