I dispute the whole notion that passing between two rows each consisting
of many people is an issue.  By the same logic one would have to avoid
walking down a tree-lined avenue or a forest path!  Whoever heard of such
a thing?  And in my experience women do pass through the shurah. (What
difference does it make whether it's just one woman or a family that
includes women?  The aveilim go single file after all, so if there were
a problem then it would manifest as each woman passed in turn.)
