me too (interested in history)
I'm not...(surprised)... as I am assuming you know (with your schooling)... most "scholarly research", until quite recently, was done by men... so it either included their biases & prejudices about anything "woman related" or they were simply disallowed access to the true "insider info" on woman's activities, precisely because they were men.......
