Shepherdess---She had a little lamb.
As to Mary Magdalen--It is not stated other then a follower. As time went on, there has been a merging of her with the prostitute. So it is unknown.

Well, let's see.
Mary, the mother of Jesus, was your typical Jewish housewife of the first century.
Mary Magdalene was a follower of Jesus, apparently a woman of independent means, as she, along with a woman named Susannah and Joanna, the wife of Herod's steward Chuza, is known to have supported the ministry of Jesus "of their own means" (Luke 8:2,3).
Mary, the mother of John Mark, was also apparently a woman of means whose home was a gathering place for early Christians (Acts 12:12-14).
There was a woman named Mary who was evidently a Roman Christian who was greeted by name by Paul in his letter to the Romans (Romans 16:6), who apparently was actively involved in the work of the church there.
Turning to other Marys in history, two queens regnant of England had this name; Mary I, surnamed Tudor (aka "Bloody Mary" for her persecution of Protestants), and Mary II, daughter of James Stuart, who was co-ruler with her husband William of Orange following the Glorious Revolution.
Mary Wollstonecraft was an early feminist, author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman; her daughter, also named Mary, married Percy Bysshe Shelley and was the author of Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus.
Mary Todd was the wife of Abraham Lincoln; most of her life was spent as an Illinois housewife until her husband's election to the presidency. She probably suffered more than any other first lady in American history, because the North was suspicious of her Kentucky roots (and it didn't help that several of her brothers fought for the Confederacy) and the South considered her a traitor to her roots. All of this is quite apart from the early deaths of three of her four sons, witnessing her husband's murder, and a period of institutionalization for insanity.
And, trust me, what I've said is only the merest tip of the iceberg.
