Female Islamic Imam?

Hi friends,

This is another eye opener for me! I wonder what the imams in Saudi would have to say to this. Of course the women imam would do all to defend her position. I dont know what to make of it. She talks about women being equal to men, but I am not sure if that includes leading mixed gender prayer. I do agree with one though which she said that the the intrepretations of the Quran has been by men throughout history, and thus its more male-centric. One question: we all know what there is for men in Heaven, but what is there in Heaven for women?
