Christian tradition says no but history shows that there is a strong likelihood that there were female disciples in the jesus movement. Why they were not included later on chritian texts is best explained by the role/place of women in society. As the church grew and developed its own power structure, women were cut out and their role/importance in the beginnings of the church downplayed, completely ignored or some cases, completely erased.
It does not make sense to me that a man such as jesus who apparently had little/no ego would purposefully exclude any of his followers in the last meeting he would have with them. Makes more sense that he would want everyone around. But since this meeting is very importamt in christian tradition, any mention of women would of course be obliterated.

No, the fact that one or more of the disciples looks distinctly girly in the Last Supper just reflects Leonardo da Vinci's taste in models - a lot of his male figures are on the effeminate side. Unlike Michelangelo who would only use very masculine male models and then paint/sculpt unconvincing breasts on them.

it rather is John, the youngest of the disciples. Leonardo da Vinci did no longer shop on with all the regulations of his time, yet he wasn't a public revolt. portray a woman in to a portrayal of the final Supper would have had him buried below a detention center, no longer as a prisoner in one. The Catholic Popes of Leonardo's time did no longer tolerate straying from doctrine truthfully.

If you read and believe Dan Brown then yes in reality I very much like it not after having seen pictures of the last supper.

Yeah, right next to Tom Hanks and Oliver Stone. Ron Howard was late but finally wound up hanging with Gabriel and the arch-angel Michael...
.....sheesh.

No. Scripture has only the apostles (minus Judas) at the supper.

The Jews and Church of Rome know, but wont release the missing scriptures, I think that there probably were women there, but who knows, maybe we will find out when we die? unless its all a scam.
