I think there’s absolutely an inherent value in any person learning Torah. There’s something incredible and otherworldly about opening a sefer and learning it, connecting it to other sources, discussing it (or arguing about it, if you’re a man) with other people, being able to teach it to others – nothing can compare. It’s indescribably sublime. I’m not a feminist by any definition, but I don’t see why women shouldn’t get the same chance to experience ameilus b’torah. Even just watching a beis medrash from the window can impact a person tremendously.
I’m not saying that women should learn about things that don’t apply to them, because I know that some hold that it is in fact assur, but women should have an equal opportunity to drink in the beauty and truth of the Torah they are allowed to learn.
