That does stand by far not for all historians.
I would say its more or less etablished that there were woman who fought in wars. That probably counts especially for cultures like the germanic or other "barbaric" ones. Question is how common and accepted it was.
With focus set on the middle east and europe I would say that woman were accepted as warriors in many "barbaric cultures" but most warriors were still male. As the greek and roman influence became stronger and stronger the female warriors disappeared. Monotheistic religions probably are also important in this devolpment.
