Lk 24:1-12 (except you won't find verse 12 at that location)
St. Luke does not at first name the women, simply referring to them in the previous chapter as the women who had come with him from Galilee (23:55). He agrees with Mark about their mission on that first Easter morning, that they took spices with them to the tomb. Later, in verse 11, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Joanna are mentioned by name, and Salome is not, though she certainly could be included among the other women with them.
I'll probably want to mention this again tomorrow when considering St. John's account, but all four evangelists agree that a woman or a group of women gets to be first to proclaim that Jesus is risen.
