Good point, this seems like a case of survivorship bias. However, I think it does seem to show some sort of upper bound on the level and pervasiveness of sexism? That it's at least _possible_ for women to achieve at the highest level in these fields means sexism didn't stop everyone.

But these women did not experience sexism. Of course it wouldn't stop them.
