I think that you are absolutely right in that the way Kilby is presented vs. the Navajo women is a stark contrast. This is not a disparity that has gone away but has continued to compound itself many times over. Computer technology is a field dedicated to preserving what a GWSS scholar might call “whitesupremacistcapitalistpatriarchy” (hooks, bell. Feminism is for Everybody 2000.) These articles both highlight the ways we are subliminally able to praise and highlight the work of these male computer scientists while often any recognition to others who have tremendously shifted the field goes unnoticed.
