rational frummie- if a woman wants to go and learn Torah, than they should go ahead and learn. Like others have already stated, it is a machlokes on what they are allowed to learn, specifically Gemara and schools like bais Yaakov won’t teach Gemara to girls, but more modern places will since the rambam says that a father can’t teach his daughter Gemara and someone who isn’t the father teaching Gemara is okay. But many disagree with him like the shulchan oruch who says women can only learn short summaries and not full in-depth Gemara.
But is is great if women want to learn other things, and they shouldn’t be discouraged from doing so
