[Avodah] Any Makor

[Esther and Aryeh Frimer]

It is a prevalent custom worldwide[i] to have a second Megilla reading for 
women; yet no provisions are made to have a minyan of ten men present.

 [i]. R. Sraya Devlitsky, Purim Meshulash, Chap. 2, note 20, for example, 
refers to these second Megilla readings for women as the "takana gedola" 
(important innovation) of Bnei Brak.
