I don't think it's accurate to say that feminists don't talk about female historical achievement.

They just engage in cognitive dissonance where, even with the existence of women who did fine in male things, there was still some dominating patriarchy.

When I was in my 20s, "herstory" and high achieving women in history were big topics of feminist conversation. These days, I rarely see it mentioned. I also see a lot of feminist claims about women's historical situation that are completely at odds with the reality of the history.
