AnswerThat is an interesting question. Matthew originally called the visitors magi, not "wise men", and the magi were priests of the god Ahura Mazda ("Wise Lord" - hence "wise men").

Bishop Spong says that among the people he knows in New Testament circles, the universal assumption is that the magi were not actual people. Matthew was clearly writing Christian midrash, but he made no reference to missing women. I know of no Christian tradition or legend that women were supposed to accompany the priests.
