Read the above passage.

‘This 13th century stained glass window in Chartres Cathedral shows the Evangelist Matthew sitting on the shoulders of the Prophet Isaiah. More than any other Gospel writer, Matthew constantly makes links with the Old Testament, quoting from or alluding to the Book of Isaiah alone over eighty times’ (Weber, Hans-Ruedi, Immanuel: The Coming of Jesus in Art and the Bible, (1984), Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.: Grand Rapids, p. 63)

Matthew on Isaiah's shoulders

Compare Matthew's list with Luke's. Luke's list contains no women at all. Matthew obviously thinks it is very important to include them.
