A Documentary denouncement necessary...

In this documentary, women scientists discuss the inequalities they faced while creating a formula to make science accessible to everyone.A super painful documentary to watch, of course I know the challenges that women face in a world dominated by men and extremely sexist, however I could not even imagine how much humiliation, evil, all the horror they suffered within science and that many still suffer in other areas... A Documentary denouncement necessary, and a little justice for the women who suffered, disgusted that David Marchant, suffered a minima penalty, but very representative, resignation and loss of homage in the Marchant Glacier renamed Matataua Glacier that means "a girl scout before the troops"...

Important

I think it would've added to this documentary to have included historical omissions, such as Einstein's wife, Mileva M Einstein who was not given any credit for the things that she collaborated on with him.. or what about Marie Curie, or Nancy Grace Roman, Jocelyn Bell Burnell, Margaret J. Geller to name a few.... This is an important documentary, and I think it should've laid a little bit more groundwork for the lack of recognition that has been given in addition to the ongoing, cultural biases, and what is being done to shift it. The tenacity of all the women covered in this documentary, as well as the ones omitted should be even more applauded given the negativity and literal oppression they received both in their work and as individuals who just wanted to study science.
