The reason behind the removal of the idea that women were not allowed into the ruling, elite, religious and/or warrior classes is because there is evidence that they were, at least in some areas given a large amount of power within their immediate society. A good example of this is Boudicca who lead the Celtic Iceni tribe in a revolt against the Romans in Britain. However we do not know for sure if all Celtic tribes (because the Celts were not a unified people) allowed women into positions of power.
