Hinduism and its off-shoot Buddhism ..place no restriction of enlightenment for women
Shri Krishna the lord himself declared in Gita, that Moksha (enloightenment) is birth right of all irrespective of gender, caste or creed

No
(Quoting from my speech) "The above quotation about the
goddess Tara should have a word of explanation. In Buddhist
belief, a woman cannot attain Nirvana. She must strive and be as
good as she can and then perhaps she might be born in another
life as a man, who, if he is worthy, might reach that ultimate
goal. One can imagine then, how revolutionary a statement Tara
makes when she vows to remain in a woman's body, forsaking her
chance for salvation until she has first helped every creature to
be saved. You can imagine the comfort it would give a tired young
wife or mother who certainly did not choose her hard lot in life,
to feel that Tara can understand her problems.

nirvana can be attained by anyone with the discipline to follow the middle path.

I'd have been happy with just Kurt Cobain when he was still alive.
