Rav Soloveichik allowed women to learn Gemara in our time where they have extensive secular (and often legal) education. Others disagree. As for Beruria, some say that that story was “inserted” into Rashi (it does not appear in the Gemara) and, in fact, it is very puzzling how Rabbi Meir could send a talmid to try to tempt her for several reasons. BTW, the Maharsahl says in one of his teshuvot that his grandmother was a rosh yeshiva – however, she taught bachurim from behind a mechitza.
