Related for Berakhot 40:3
מהו דתימא הואיל ואית בה מלכות שמים קמ"ל:
[Why, then, does the Mishnah mention it ?] Thou mightest say that since it contains a reference to the Kingdom of Heaven [it should be read by women] ; therefore it informs us [they are exempt].
Tosefta Berakhot
Women, slaves and children are exempt [from saying Birkat Hamazon (Grace After Meals)], and they cannot absolve many [people, who include men] from their obligation [of saying Birkat Hamazon]. In reality, they (i.e. the Rabbis) said that a woman can say [Birkat Hamazon] for her husband, a son can say [Birkat Hamazon] for his father, [and] a slave can say [Birkat Hamazon] for his master.
