See, e.g.,<br />http://www.jewishideas.org/responsa/women-and-kaddish<br /><br />There apparently are major authorities that support the idea in some circumstances.<br /><br />IMO, the reason that it is discouraged seems to have less to do with whether a daughter or mother or sister saying kaddish benefits the neshama of the departed, and more to do with what I'll call "ancillary" issues connected with proper conduct in a synagogue, which is, by its very nature, subject to deeply divided opinions. I have no problem with women saying kaddish out loud in shul, though I have not asked my Rav what he thinks. <br /><br />I leave the issue of separation of men and women for another day.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785099161219928078noreply@blogger.com
