This is related to inyana d'yoma. The Gemara in Erchin 3a writes that
hakol k'sheirim likros hamegilla is marbeh women that they can read
the megilla. Rashi writes explicitly that women can read for men. It
is clear from Rashi that there is no problem of Kol Isha with a women
reading the megilla. In fact, reading the Megilla is worse then
speaking as the megilla is read with the trop which is a form of music
and yet women can still read for men.
