I’d be interested in an halachic analysis of the propiety asking a woman to review the Artscroll elucidation of the gemmara. While in modern Orthodox circles I understand that there is no objection Artscroll acts in accordance with a different set of poskim. L’shitasam I can’t help but wonder if this is true, how this would be permissible.
