There were female disciples.. for example, Mary Magdalene.. but becoz of the times.. they were mostly kept Behind the Scenes.. Another reason could be because Jesus "chose" his own disciples.. and if he wanted women to have a better position or more say.. he would have commanded it of the others.. In fact, the tradition is still followed by the Roman Catholic church, which still doesnt allow women as priests .. or lead a congregation ..

How many of the desciples were at the resurrection dinner?

There was not a "Resurrection Dinner", per say. The eleven remaining disciples (sans Judas Iscariot) were gathered, mourning the death of Jesus, in Jerusalem. Jesus is said to have appeared amongst Them. They thought Jesus was a ghost, until He asked for food. He was given a broiled fish. Hardly a dinner, however it is the only time when food was eaten, post-Crucifixion, that was attended by Jesus and The Disciples. If You are referring to the Last Supper (pre-Crucifixion) there were thirteen men seated at the table; Jesus and all twelve of the male disciples. Bear in mind that there were also female disciples, Mary Magdalene being foremost of Them. However, according to Jewish traditions of the day, the female disciples would not have been seated with them; They would have been there to serve the food.
