It's just not going to happen.
Women's history, like all of the world's histories, won't be perfect. And it's likely that many great, accomplished humans have not been included in history. That doesn't mean they're erased, but there is only so much human record that can be included in histories. But whatever evidence and life stories historians access through all kinds of information streams, and other countries' histories of us, will remain. Even the 4,000 year process of the canonized Bible still has what are called the Apocrypha sitting in millions of libraries. There are thousands of digital archives and millions of photo albums. Furthermore, even a totalitarian country can't just buy a new history. What's been in US history books will remain in US history.
Women's history is global, broad and deep, and still being written as sure as we're alive. This seminal, original 3 volume set from 2003 is now the 4 volume set in 2025.
