Edition changes: Licensed text reading edition. Source headings, paragraphs and references are preserved; whitespace, typography and layout are normalized. Figures and separately licensed third-party images are not reproduced. Consult the linked original for tables, figures, equations, supplementary material and definitive pagination. This is a republication of existing scholarship, not a new original research claim.
Evidence limits: Limited historical literature, low female representation and heterogeneous settings; a null average is not evidence against equal opportunity.
Retraction / correction check: Publisher article page inspected: no retraction or expression-of-concern notice observed. Crossref update-to metadata collected; this is not a guarantee against future changes.
