TN, I believe what you are referring to, was a particular church where the women had started to go to a seer, then prophesied in church about what they were told. Because their prophecies did not come from God, Paul told them to sit down and shut up and listen to their husbands. That held true for one church for one reason.
There is a list of women who preached the Good News of Christ, His mother for one. Phoebe, Priscilla, Aquila, Mary M. and others helped spread the Gospel and were considered notable.
