>From what I have seen, there are SHUT that say women do NOT say kaddish.
Rav Tuchinsky, in his sefer Gesher HaChaim sites this as normative halacha.
Rav Tuchinsky & others who do not allow women to say kaddish are
following Chovot
Ya'ir # 222.

He seems to be the first person to address this in a SHUT. The interesting
thing about this SHUT is that the Amsterdam community allowed the daughter
to say kaddish for her father & then asked the Chovot Ya'ir about the whole
thing.
