Ah! Well, this is one of those places where statistics answer a question possibly different than the one asked. You almost need to skim off the juggernauts (which are for many Reasons going to lean White Men either representationally or characterwise) to see what else is going on.
W00T on your Book!
Peggy is operating in that valley of Research Needed, Source Misuse and Thankless Job. Which is to say one has to be Ginger Rogers to write her. ;) Unless one gives her a cameo, which I did because I had Issues with how the Russos managed her in The Winter Soldier and source has only escalated since then.
Thanks re. the WOOT! It's pretty giddy-making exciting. Now, of course, the thing is to write the next one.
I was more of an Agent Carter fan than I was a MCU fan, and I have an even 10 Peggy stories on AO3 at the moment, all tied to the series. So my perspective on that closing dance in Endgame was "well, that's nice, except two seasons of Peggy getting on with her life postwar is now kind of moot, isn't it?" (From an emotional standpoint, even if she still goes on to direct SHIELD.) But a popular Agent Carter story might get 30-40 kudos; I know Stucky and Stony get a lot more than that . . . .
I've only been able to see the first season of Agent Carter, solely Blu-Ray release of second season... Thing is, per the Time Travel Theory they used, the Peggy Carter dancing isn't MCU main continuity. She's indistinguishable from Peggy up to the moment Steve interjects himself into her timeline. Just like there's 2012!Loki running about with the Tesseract and 2014!Gamora never met Peter Quill... Because of the Infinity Stones 2014!Gamora is in 2023 MCU and 2012!Loki may appear should it suit Disney, Marvel and/or large suitcases of Lincolns and Hamiltons.
Oh, yeah! Stucky and Stony can rake in kudos and may even get comments. I've got never to be requited mutual past pining in my AU along with rare pair.
I've been trying to ignore all Word of God commentary by the Russos because they keep trying to have their cake and eat it too. Get it on the screen or let it go. Head canons are for fans.
