Hadith.479 - Al-Hasan ibn Ziyad al-Sayqal reported that Imam Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about how women should perform the funeral prayer if no men are present.
Imam (as) replied: "They should all stand together in a single row, and no woman should step forward as a leader."
He was then asked if, during the obligatory (written) prayers, one woman may lead another.
The Imam said: "Yes."
