the topic never came up it more geared towards weather Jesus was god or not and what books should go in the bible
The agenda of the synod were:

The Arian question;
The celebration of Passover;
The Meletian schism;
The Father and Son one in purpose or in person;
The baptism of heretics;
The status of the lapsed in the persecution under Licinius.

Women were ordained as deacons in the early Church (33-325.) They also assumed other leadership roles within the early Christian communities. Although the council of Nicaea did not deal with women deacons, other councils of the era did. As the Church became more associated with the late imperial government, a number of early attitudes towards slavery, women,etc, changed too. Although women continue to be mentioned as deacons as late as the 8th and 9th centuries, by the year 1000 in the west. Try this site for more information on the role of women in the early church:
