Rov Soloveitchik z’tz’l told my rav in the most strident terms I’ve ever heard him relate on anything that it was a chiyuv for a community to teach gemara to women. Almost all of The Rov’s talmidim agree that women can learn gemara.
I’ve completed one cycle of Daf Yomi and am now into my second cycle. My wife got so inspired that she started attending shiurim and she completed Berachot, Shabat, and Eruvim. She loved gemara! She has now dropped out of Daf Yomi because she wants to learn more in-depth.
In Manhattan and the Bronx, as well as in many suburban areas, there are now many gemara shiurim that welcome women or are women-only. (If you are anywhere near Riverdale I can list them for you if you’d like.) I wish you the best in your learning!
