I received the following book: 

Junia: The First Woman Apostle 
by Eldon Jay Epp
Paperback: 138 pages 
Publisher: Augsburg Fortress Publishers (October 2005) 
ISBN: 0800637712 

It discusses the question, if the person mentioned in Romans 16:7 is male or
female. I personally do not find this particularly interesting, but those
who think this is an issue have here now the definitive work, which declares
that there is absolutely no question that the person is female. 

This is not exactly a textcritical question, because the names, male and
female are written alike. Even the accentuation is not clear. 

NA accentuates with an acute from its 1998 printing on. 

Best wishes
