Don't know if serious or just a big meme

Simone de Beauvoir?

Kathleen Hughes was pretty much the foremost historian on Irish and early English church history until pretty recently. People in the field treat her work like Gospel. Some of the stuff she wrote is a little outdated now but she was a great historian and her work still largely holds up.

Sinead O'Sullivan is a great historian who focuses on Carolingian history, in particular she's done a lot of great work dispelling old 19th century myths about the early middle ages that a lot of people still cling on to.

Elizabeth Packenham was a brilliant writer who mostly focused on historical biographies. She wrote beautifully and I think her biography of the Duke of Wellington has yet to be rivalled but she reminds me a bit of Dan Carlin in that she had no formal historiographical training and she can sometimes let a compelling story get in the way of the facts.

Karen Dixon is one of the greatest scholars of Late Roman military history around and her collaborative efforts with Pat Southern are fantastic.

I find history to be one of the most gender egalitarian fields there is. Look up any respectable biography and probably a third of the names will be female.
