Dear Yigal,

In any case, the fact that the only worthy Hebrews or decent
Egyptians were women is, I'm sure, significant.

HH: The women are not mentioned as the only worthy Hebrews or decent Egyptians. Perhaps you mean that they are the only worthy or decent ones mentioned, but the reason they are mentioned is due to the circumstances of the narrative. The attempt to murder the Israelite children was a key issue in the history of its stay in Egypt.
Yours,
Harold Holmyard
