one of the things about jesus is that he has very inclusive group of disciples. it s a very open kind of movement and included women who a lot of the time might have felt themselves somewhat marginalized. being with jesus gave them a sense of identity and self-worth in a way that they often didn t find in ordinary society. mary magdalene seems atypical for a jewish woman of her time. most jewish women in the galilee would have been in some kind of domestic setting, either as a daughter or a mother or a wife, but to be out in the wilderness with a itinerant preacher with a name that does not link her to any man is unusual. but in the case of mary, it seems her role goes well beyond that of a simple spiritual follower.
