Jokes aside, I'd have to go along with the patriarchal theory that she isnt mentioned because women werent mentioned much. There was a commonly held assumption that women were the cause of mans suffering (see Adam's complaint to God, Genesis 3)
I at first chuckled to myself that she was like me, a complaining spirit behind the man.
When my husband was interviewed on stage at the District Convention I was never mentioned!
Just who got the man up in the morning and dressed for service? (He was a quad)
Who drove him to the meetings and out in service? Who went over and over with him and typed all his talks?
OMG! So my first thought was, Mrs. Noah probably was pi**ed about the plan to build the ark and take in all the animals and have to put up with her snotty DIL for so many months. And of course she had a "just so" husband like I did. So she wasnt mentioned because of her attitude and God knew of it.
But then I thought, no, she wasnt like me. She kept her mouth shut (unlike Mischal Davids wife). So I think she was faithful and was declared righteous like the rest. She could have aborted mission and gone off with one of the Nephilim (like I did). But she didnt so I think she was just a victim of the old rule to ignore the women of historical importance.
Just my thoughts,

In the book of Job, which predates the writing of Genesis, the daughters of Job are mentioned by name!
So the person who wrote Job respected women enough to give them names.
This giving names to women might indicated that the writer of Job was not the writer of Geneis.

the
names of thewomen were considered unnecessary.Is there a little Watchtower similarity there? Oh I think there is.

VM,
Remember a sister cannot keep her maiden name and if she has/does, the brothers will still call on her, "Sister Husbandslastname."
Even on the regular pioneer record, sisters were listed as "Sister Husbandsfirstname Husbandslastname" not Sister Mary Anderson.

With all the animals and sheep, wives were just baby makers.

There was spec. that it was because she was not a "true believer
??????? So, since we are "like the days of Noah" does that mean that non-believing spouses of JWs will survive Armageddon based upon "family merit?" Interesting 'reasoning.'
