women<BR>reading the megilla. In fact, reading the Megilla is worse

<DIV>But the posek (ROY?) who was quoted recently as permitting women to read
the megilla for men (in the extremely remote case that no man could do it) was
also quoted as saying IIRC that the woman who leins for men should read the
megilla without the trop.</DIV>
