God, the Holy Spirit, is the principle Author of all Holy Scripture. He used humans as active instruments in producing the texts. There are large sections of Holy Scripture in which we are not positively sure who the human author was. We know there is a portion (at least) of one psalm that was written by a woman (the mother of a king). I don't have the specific citation just this moment, but I can get it for later.
The point is, God can work through whatever person He chooses in giving supernatural gifts - as 'Canticle of Deborah' pointed out. Deborah herself was a judge of Israel! Also, think of St. Bernadette or the child Lucia from Fatima in receiving and giving to the world the Church approved messages sent by God through His Mother, the ever-Blessed Virgin Mary.
I think I know what you are talking about. I recently read that part of Proverbs was written by Bathsheba to Solomon.

She was feisty when chicks weren't supposed to be feisty. I like her;-) Plus she's my namesake.
I do and you don't know whose account to believe. She was said to have gone catatonic after one of the visions at Lourdes and had to be carried to a home somewhere and was "out" for some time.
child Lucia from Fatima
Again, you don't know whose account to believe. The more I read about Fatima, the more I didn't know whom to believe. Some of Fatima was true prophetically, but the conversion of Russia hasn't happened. It still could in the future, but things on that front are looking pretty grim at the moment.
I don't pay much attention to any private revelations any more as most of it never comes true. That is the acid test for me.
Sometimes I wonder if a lot of them were deceived and the church went along with it because it promoted belief. I have come to believe that Guadalupe is a gigantic hoax that has been perpetuated down through the years, culminating in awarding sainthood to a person whose existence is doubtful. I used to be very gullible and it was easy to believe all that stuff. I think a lot of it isn't true. Some of it I can't explain and could be true but I wouldn't stake my life on any of it.
