I wonder if the custom in Vilna to let women say Qaddish is a precedent.

In particular, in the Gra's shul there was no Ezras Nashim, so they said
Qaddish from the back of the room.

R CO Grozhinsky and RYBS both used this precedent for cases beyond
Vilna.

I can't see why Qaddish and HaGomel would be different.

Chodesh Tov!
Tir'u baTov!
