PAA,
Understood, but it is important to clarify that there is a difference between Horaah and Dayanus. The Tosafos in Niddah and Midrash (absent the explanation of the Asei Lecha Rav) holds that there can even be Dayanus but most sources are only allowing Horaah.
I don’t know of any source that says that a woman can’t be a morah horaah.
BTW I don’t buy your argument vis-a-vis the Tosafos in Yevamos. If that Tosafos held that a woman could be a dayan, it would have answered that for Devorah because it is the simplest teretz.
