In recent times, I have seen movies and documentaries letting the world know about women contributing to such things as the efforts to fight WWII and the space program because of their intellect, mathematical prowess, or whatever. I see another documentary of a groundbreaking female cryptanalyst during WWII. Need I go on.
Great contributions all. Great achievements all.
But really! Are these movies and documentaries being done because of the great things accomplished or because they were female and/or people of color. I suppose one must assume they did all of this in a mental vacuum.
