[Avodah] Women Readers

[Yitzchok Levine]

In his book A World in Ruins Hermann Schwab writes on page 181

  "A weatherworn gravestone at Worms tells of the harmonious voice of 
a woman reader. In the early Middle Ages, women were to be found at 
the Reader's desk in synagogues which were separated from the men's 
synagogues."

Does anyone know anything about this? I have never heard of this.
