This is a story of the women behind a successful man. But no. Gender doesn't matter. Look at some successful start-ups. You need a founder like Claude Shannon to come up with a successful idea and another founder like Betty to fill in all the gaps and implement it. Such partnership is, IMHO, the essential formula for success. It is rare to have both traits in the same person.

Whilst your late part is great, the problem is the first sentence. It is not behind. It should not be. Woman are human too.

I think you misunderstood the parent. In this context, 'behind' means less visible, as in a person working in the background.

Example: 'Behind every “big break” is a lot of blood sweat and tears.'

Example: Giorgio Moroder was behind many smash hits of the 80s.
