.....wrong message

We should notice that resool and nebiyy are not same, even the same person could be both. Resool is a medium from bringing Allah's message (answer) to the people; resool is a verbal message itself and one(s) through which it came (human, melek). Nebiyy is one with some news or something new, for example something new in the Law of Allah.
A correct translation of resool is a messenger, and I couldn't understand that Meryem or any woman was a messenger of Allah, meaning she didn't bring any message as a response/reply from Allah to her people. She was told to "fast" and not to talk, but to let her son talk for her.
Was she a nebiyy? Probably, as I can understand. She was told "irke'ii me'a-r-raaki'oon" (343). These words' root means "to speak/express publicly/open". It was not normal for a woman in her (Egyptian) society to talk among men, only royal women were allowed to in special situations. Women were "women of el-'aalemoon" and they could talk to their men (el-'aalemoon) and learn what they know, but they didn't take place in public speeches. Meryem was first one, and she was known as Miriam the Prophetess. Was she a prophet - yes! If this word "prophet" means same as qur'anic "nebiyy" then she was nebiyy also.
Zekeriyya was chosen to look after her, but whenever he had some problem (Harb حرب) he would come to her to get an answer, she was getting them from the presence of Allah (min 'indAllahi). He was always able to find a provision (rizq رزق) at her (337).
