I find it hard to believe that in a search for 10 great designers, the instructor (someone who is tasked with teaching and inspiring others) couldnโt find any designers of color or women designers. If a woman has to marry a male designer to get on a top designers list, then we should probably reevaluate the list.
Edit: My post is in reference to Great Designers Pt 1 and Great Designers Pt 2

231,184 PointsYou didn't post a link to a course page, so I'm not sure what's on the list you are referring to. But a quick web search for the most celebrated designers did return nearly 50% women.
I don't think it matters to their standing to whom (or if) they were married.
Also, you can make suggestions directly to the staff as described on the Support page.
