1 Corinthians 14:34.

The women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says.
yet 1 Corinthians 11:5 says
"But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered, disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven."

It seems to say that women may speak, as long as their heads are covered. So the stuff about women keeping silent in church must not be interpreted literally, but should refer to a woman speaking as if she were a priest

I've always assumed that 'praying' and 'speaking' are two different things. When female lay lectors get up and speak in the pulpit in the Novus Ordo, that seems to be different than women who, say, pray along with the Rosary, or pray the after-low mass prayers, such as the Hail Mary, etc.
