"In light of the fact that women were learning secular subjects in high school and universities, the Rebbe encouraged them to learn Jewish subjects on advanced levels of sophistication as well. For this reason, he famously directed girls’ schools to include Talmud, hitherto a “male-only” subject, in their curriculum.
Historically, there were a number of women well-versed in Torah, but that was the exception, not the norm. The Rebbe’s view was that learning was not only for “Rebbetzins,” but for every Jewish woman. This was imperative for the continuity of the Jewish people, and in fact, Torah learning for women even preceded Torah learning for men."

Do Chabad girl schools teach Gemara? And If it is true that the Rebbe directed schools to do so then why don't they? Does anybody out there know Lubavitcher women who are serious Gemara learners?? "Torah learning for women precedes Torah learning for men"???? If he really said that [I didn't find the source] then that would be against the Gemara, Shulchan Aruch and everything since.
So I hope that the whole quote is fake news....
