You missed the whole point of Miriam and in your feminism you forgot God. The Torah is not just "a" story, it is the inspired Word of God ... Miriam is a prophet, a leader, but a minor one, her jeolousy of Moses punished her by God, then she came back to her place in the tribe not as Moses or Aaron but as their sister. She is to be admired, but do not make the mistake of making her more than she was, she was never a priest nor on the level if her brothers. God's words are not to be interpreted at your whim for you will mistakenly lead others to perdition. Do not let your pride of 'feminism' cloud your mind of Who God Is...
