Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. (Luke 24:10-11 ESV)
As the women reported to the Apostles, their message seemed well, like an old wives' tale - the kind of things a group of women are stereotypically accused of. But it is not. They were the privileged first witnesses of the event of history - the resurrection of Christ. It is not an idle tale, but a living and powerful message of hope. He is risen indeed, and life is worth the living, just because He lives!
