Women’s Megillah reading , true feminism or a publicity stunt

Recently certain modern Orthodox institutions have decided to have a women’s Megillah reading for Purim , I don’t know about the other Megillah if there is such a reading . The question is is this done list a because the women rally want to raad the Megillah or is it a publicity stunt to get attention . Do they want to read Vayakhel Pekudei in a couple of weeks? Some do but most don’t .
