Women in Jewish society did not typically carry important roles, which makes their involvement in Jesus’ ministry more radical than normal for the time they lived in. Mary Magdalene was one of the women who stayed with Jesus, even to the Crucifixion. She was also present at the tomb, the first person to whom Jesus appeared after his resurrection and the first to preach the “Good News” of that miracle.
It's also an argument for the reliability of the Gospels, because if one were to fabricate stories of a resurrection witness it seems unlikely one would use a woman as the witness.
