For a superb treatment of Junia as a co-equal apostle with her husband, Andronicus, see Women in the Church's Ministry: A Test Case for Biblical Interpretation, by R.T. France

Hello.

I'm a graduate student working on a Romans 16:7 :  "...Andronicus and
Junia...prominent among the apostles..."

I'm working from the assumptions that Junia is female and that she is
called an 'apostle' by Paul.

I'm wondering if 'apostle' when applied to a female means the same thing as
'apostle' when applied to a man.

According to R.T. France, a exegetical scholar par excellence, the answer is "Yes".
