Aries, could it be a little of the other side of the fence is greener. There is SO much Torah that you can learn and be able to quote when you need to.
Rebbetzin Deena Weinberg, almanah of the late R”Y of Aish HaTorah, R’ Noach Weinberg, used to teach and probably still does that there is so much to learn about keeping the mitzvos women have to keep, like the 6 constant mitzvos. She recommended learning EVERYTHING you can about what you do have to do and then if you have time after that, well, you can imagine.
There are tons of seforim out there and a lot of what you probably want is in the medrash and other non-problematic seforim on hashkafa, etc. The issues of learning mishna/gemara by women may not seem so large when you look at how much is actually out there that we can learn.
