It is interesting to see how Jews view Hulda - the
WOMEN's prophet...
"Hulda lived during the era of the First Temple and was sole prophetess
for the women."
"Kings II tells us that King Yoshiayhu turns to Hulda for advice when the High Priest (Kohen Gadol) sends him a Torah scroll discovered inside the Temple."
"Why does the king consult Hulda,
the women's prophet, rather than bringing his question to the men's prophets, Jeremiah (Hulda's cousin) or Tzephaniah?"
" According to the tenets of prophecy, a prophet is compelled to report God's message word-for-word. In this sense, Yoshiayhu would have received the same answer to his inquiry from any prophet - man or woman."

A prophet or prophetess simply gives voice to what God says and God can even use a donkey for this purpose. For purposes of leadership God has chosen to use men. Bishops and deacons are exclusively men.
