All four gospels report that women were the ones to find the tomb of Jesus empty.
According to Mark and Luke, the announcement of Jesus' resurrection was made to several women.
According to Mark and John, Jesus appeared first (in Mark 16:9 and John 20:14) to Mary Magdalene.
In the gospels, especially the synoptics, women play a central role as eyewitnesses at Jesus' death, entombment, and in the discovery of the empty tomb.
All three synoptics repeatedly make women the subject of verbs of seeing, clearly presenting them as eyewitnesses.
