What of the women called prophets in the OT?

In the Old Testament, there are many references to prophetic figures. Some of these prophets were women. There are five women in the Old Testament that carry the title of prophet: Miriam (Exod. 15: 20), Deborah (Judg. 4: 4), Huldah (2 Kgs 22: 14– 20), Noadiah (Neh. 6: 14), and the unnamed woman in Isaiah 8: 3. There are also many others associated with prophetic activity, including mixed groups of women and men prophesying together as described in Ezekiel 13:17 and Joel 2:28.

I do believe in the existence of the female prophets in the Old Testament. 

What is not clear from D&C 138 is if Jesus commissioned female prophets to preach 
the gospel in the spirit world between his death and resurrection and if they are 
excluded from the designation of "elders" in 138:57.

"I beheld that the faithful elders of this dispensation, when they depart from 
mortal life, continue their labors in the preaching of the gospel of repentance and 
redemption, through the sacrifice of the Only Begotten Son of God, among those who 
are in darkness and under the bondage of sin in the great world of the spirits of 
the dead".

Does this verse exclude faithful women who died in this dispensation from going to
preach there?  Are they considered "elders" too?

Did Eve and her faithful daughters remain in the spirit world to preach or were they 
resurrected with the faithful men as Moses 7:56-57 appears to me to symbolize?
