There is some dispute as to wheter Jesus of Nazareth had female apostles. Many theologians believe that Mary Magdalene was Jesus closest apostle. This idea originates from references to Mary as an apostle in Aramaic texts that were part of the early Christian church, but were stricken from the holy cannon by the Council of Nicea. The modern bible has been edited many times in it's 2000 year evolution. Before Guttenberg's printing press, all copying was done by hand. Often, the copiers changed the texts to conform to common ideas in their society, including misogyny and patriarchy. The apparent "fact" of Jesus apostles all being male is obscured by this evolutionary editing process.
