While the Shulchan Aruch mentions the practice of women not working on
Rosh Chodesh in OC 417,His wording was of particular interest -- I have
not found this practice mentioned in the Rambam but was wondering if
anybody else is aware of him mentioning it.

Rashi in Megilah 23b sv rashei chadashim is interesting -- do we have
any idea who added the parentheses quoting Tosafot? I also assumed that
Rashi goes on at such length because there is no source in the bavli
that talks about women only not doing work on rosh chodesh.
