As an opposite interesting story from another part of the world around same time. When I was just a few years old my father (a highschool chemistry teacher with a research background) was telling me stories about how how himself and his colleague which was a female had the best results preparing students for chemistry olympiads although their highschool, an "industrial" was one of the last choices for students, so it was usually the last in everything. Yet they managed to prepare some of the top students. This was during late communist era and just after it. I grew up with nothing close to racism, sexism or anything close.
