Question
What is the ruling for a woman who was late for the Megillah reading?
Answer
A woman who arrives late after the reader has started reading a few verses should recite the blessings for the Megillah herself and begin reading from the Chumash until she reaches where the reader is, then she should remain silent and listen to the reader. All this is under two conditions: A. It should be less than half of the Megillah. B. She should hear herself reading aloud.
