The figures in this Nativity from Nepal are all portrayed by women. The wise people are all women, Mary is without Joseph but caring for her Baby Jesus. I have never seen another set like this. When I bought it, I was told that the Tibetan women, the people that made this set, live in a matriarchal society therefore all characters in this set are women.
