Lastly, and I hope I am not boring you now.  

Deborah was called by God to be a Judge over all of Israel in her time.  She was a prophetess first which shows how God reaches out to men & women that he has already graced with an ear to hear his voice to also lead his people. 

She was married but was still picked as judge instead of her husband.  This position was a little akin to both Pope-President.  It was believed that God directly picked these Judges & it was a spiritual position as God would direct the Judge what to do & how to lead while also have the judge tell the priests what to pray for at the moment, especially in matters of war. 

We see here that God is not sexist, & when he chooses, he often picks women to lead.  Unlike the men who instead begged God for a King so they would have a male heir to a throne like all the other nations.  

We also see that a woman of Israelite blood could represent her nation as this is what judges did but not lineage like men.
