[Avodah] should women go to shul for megillas esther

[Eli Turkel]

<<The Chelkas Yaakov answers that the mitzva of Megila does not need a
Minyan. However there is a special mitzva of Pirsumei Nisa of
publicizing the Nes. This aspect he said does not apply to women upon
who the pasuk says, "Kol Kivuda Bas Melech Pnima". Especially given
that it is much more difficult to hear each word in the women's
section and it would be hard for them to be Yotzei anyway.>>

<<Of course, the opinion of those who hold that one can (should) read
the megillah to women at home presumes that one has a kosher megillah
and that one is able to read it properly.  This is certainly not the
case for many men.>>

In an interesting modern twist those women who go to a women's megilla
reading
hold that women don't need a minyan
