If Mary was teaching doctrine in the assembly, then Paul's words are contradicted.
If she was reporting something that happened - that the Lord had, in fact, risen - then Paul's words are not contradicted.
Think I'll go with the latter.

The issue becomes what is teaching, what is testifying, what is edifying and what is reporting. I'm not for women pastors at all, but there are times when a woman ministering the word is allowable, IMO. I see nothing in scripture which wouldn't allow that.
