Mary Magdalene had her own gospel in the Gnostic Gospels. They depict Mary Magdalene as being a key disciple in her own right and that she understood Christ's message better than the male disciple (which would explain Peter's questioning and denouncing of her experience - in the Gospel of Mary).
The misogyny actually happened later when the Church was formed in the 3rd and 4th Centuries. They made her into a repentant prostitute.
