How does the passage use Esther's example to
make a broader implication about the historical
bias against female scientists?
————————
Citing Esther's thoughts on recognition implies that
women scientists were led to believe that their
work was more important than their fame.
Explaining Esther's part on a male team implies
that women scientists were not given an
opportunity to do interesting or complex work.
Including Joshua's comments about Esther implies
that men ignored the discoveries of their female
colleagues.
Showing how Joshua took some credit for Esther's
work implies that male scientists often took credit
for the work of female colleagues.
