I believe blew would be the verb.
The details that support this idea can be seen in the two excerpts below:
“She overheard people asking what she was doing there, questioning if she was out of her depth.”
“‘I see a lot of struggles that we had to overcome to prove ourselves,’ she said.”
<h3>Why do the details support the idea?</h3>
- The first excerpt shows that people questioned whether the girls were in the right place.
- Since most American scientists were white men, many of them doubted the girls' ability to do a good job.
- That's because they believed that black girls were not capable.
- In the second excerpt, we can see that this even harmed the girls' view of themselves.
- They were so questioned that they came to doubt themselves and had to overcome this insecurity.
In this case, we can see that racism disrupted the girls' professional lives and even the way they saw themselves.
