My humble opinion on the interpretation of SAStra-s is that this is done by our current AcArya-s for the currrent time.  SAstra-s are very complex by nature, and can contain apparently conflicting guidelines.  This is why we have our learned AcArya-s, who guide us by interpreting the SAstra-s correectly.  So the question that should be asked is:  Does your AcAryan say that women should chant veda-s in goshTi-s in the temples, whether they should learn chanting veda-s, etc.  I do not know the answer to the question definitively, since I have not asked my AcAryan this question directly.  It is my feeling that in our country, in our ASrama-s and Mutt-s, the women are not part of the veda pArAyaNa goshTi.  There are no women students in the veda pArAyaNa schools conducted by our revered AcArya-s, as far as I know.

Dear Sriman Krishnaswamy,

I agree with you. Anyway, we have sarvIya SAkhA (vEda for all),
thiruvAimozhi, as the AchArya calls it in "dravidOpanishat tAtparya
ratnAvaLI". Better to concentrate on its meanings in simple Tamil/
some other language.

consider women as not fit/qualified (for any reason) to chant the
Vedas. As to whether the shastras themselves have prescribed a
prohibition, opinion does not appear to be unanimous.
