Luke shows Jesus bringing healing to women and Gentiles. The other Gospels don't parade this as much. Luke must portray Jesus as a Jew who doesn't think Gentiles have the cooties (which is how Jews conducted themselves in the Gentile world, living highly separatist lives). Luke takes special care to include the stories of people who would've been considered "unclean" in the Jewish world by mere virtue of the fact that they weren't male or Jewish. Luke's Gospel is inclusive.
