'There has been debate? By who or whom?
 
in the debate about women priests, it is usually said that all the apostles were male.

seems there was also a female one
Etymology for the words used for 'apostle'. Missionary. Apostles traveled from place to place with Christ, and later to spread the good news. Jesus also had many disciples--those who followed his teachings, but did not travel with Jesus proclaiming the good news.

Remember, there were many women (and men) who followed Jesus' company, tending to their needs. They were not among the Twelve Apostles. I am of the mind that Junia was a missionary in her own right, proclaiming the good news as she continued traveling, probably with other missionary-apostles. Perhaps she was the wife or a sister of another missionary-apostle? In one way, I kind of hope this was the case because it shows, even in Biblical times, there were women who were known to proclaim the Gospel in an even more effective way than some of the men.
