Hidden Figures, unequivocally is about the achievements of women despite multiple layers of inequality, it is also about the men in the background who didn't drag the women down. It is about the male bosses who didn't crush the women, when it could have been easy to do so and wouldn't have been out of the ordinary (of course, the meritocracy was reluctant at best. It didn't come out of the goodness of the men's hearts or social change, but because hedonistic America was desperate to not lose face in front of Russian space programme).
