Further Education Required?

I saw from the notice
for the latest local meeting for the u3a,
University of the Third Age
(Open University as it used to be),
an open meeting with the title
'Great Women in Irish History',
the lecturer was a male. I wondered,
where are the women historians,
who can explain women's history,
and men's history, from a female perspective?
Was this mansplaining in disguise?
Or more localised, and unintended, irony?
