There are certainly white women geniuses who also deserve recognition. I think of the women of "Bletchley Circle" as geniuses, the English women who worked as codebreakers on Nazi communications during WWII. There's a TV series based on them. Also the story of Alan Turing who broke the Nazi "Enigma Code" includes the woman mathematical genius Joan Clarke who worked with him. (That story involves a primitive computer that Turing designed. "Hidden Figures" is also about the first days of computers as one of the women makes herself a programming expert.)
Might I recommend the film
The Imitation Game, for things concerning Bletchley, and Turing and Joan Clarke in particular?
But it's the racial story of "Hidden Figures" that's the eyeopener.
Perhaps The Imitation Game can be the "gay story eye-opener"?
