Why women?

Why are women the first witnesses to the resurrection. Psalm 68:11-12 might provide a clue: “The Lord gives the command; the women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host. Kings of armies flee, they flee, and she who remains at home will divide the spoil!”

Women announce the good tidings of a great victory, the flight of all the kings of the earth before the King of kings.
