Yes, women can go to Heaven.
Women were not created solely to serve men and be their door mat so to speak. We were created equal. Adam was incomplete and Eve was created to complement him in fulfilling the task of filling, multiplying, and taking domionion over the earth.
The Bible no where states that "women are evil". Actually, men and women both are born with sin. Adam and Eve both sinned in the garden. They were both responsible.
The verse about women being silent in the church is 1 Corinthians 14:34. This does not mean women must go to church and not say anything at all. This means women were not permitted to preach. You have to take everything in context. Paul was writing the letter to the church in Corinth. During their services certain women were shouting out questions and causing chaos. Thus, he referred women to wait until they got home to ask their husbands. Husbands are the spiritual leaders of the home. This does not in any way mean that you can't ask your pastor questions. Obviously not all women are married! Context is key!
As far as not finding proof of women in Heaven I would refer you first to Proverbs 31. It speaks of the virtuous woman and her worth being far above rubies. Does this sound like some door mat slave woman? Absolutely not!
There are many great women in the Bible. Read the book of Ruth! She did great things for the Lord. Esther is another good one, she was greatly used by God.
There's no reason to be upset, there are women in Heaven!

The early Christian church was very egalitarian. Paul thanked women in his letters. There were many women leaders in the early Christian church. In the bible also favors woman like Ruth, Deborah, Ester, Abigail, and Mary.
Christ, after the Resurrection appeared to a woman (Mary Magdalene) before he appeared towards any man.
The old and new testament is filled with references to the church being a bride for Christ. This is why in Genesis woman were created as a companion to serve man, as a metaphor for the Christian church to be a companion for Jesus Christ.
In 1 Corinthians, Paul says that women should keep quiet in church, because in the early Christian church only people with an education could speak in church, and woman weren't given an education at the time.
All too often people don't understand Christianity. Certain, political leaders, cite passages from the Bible as justification for their extreme positions. They all to often mis-quote the Bible, or read the Bible out of context. In the past these leaders have used some of the passages you quote to justify subjecation of women.
Likewise, people who are opposed to these Certain political leaders, who do not know the Bible, quote these leaders, in an argument against all Christians. So people end up decieved into missing the main point, of Christianity. But the Bible also tells us to watch out for false profits.
Don't let anyone tell you women do go to heaven or are lesser to men, and use the Bible as justification. This is exactly the tactic that the Bible tells us Satan will use to deceive the world.

You must understands that Jesus die for both men and women ,Jesus love both both women and men ,yes God created women to accompany men but it doesn't mean that women is evil or other bad things.
Angels are not made by God they were always here
and in heaven , it doesn't have children or Aldus ,men or woman ,in the heaven we are all the same and we go to heaven to worship god and not to serve men
one bible story said a women gave her last bread to a men who serve the lord and god said that she can go to heaven
the real evil is the satan who offer the apple

The bible does not say that women are evil. Women were created in the image of God in the same way men were. To say that women were taken from the rib of Adam does not imply that we are lesser beings. It implies equality, if you really study the Hebrew text. I know there is a lot of theology that points to women only having a "subservient" place in this world, but I think if you search the heart of God, and search the scriptures through the Holy Spirit, you will find this is horribly untrue. In fact, I think it grieves God that people would think women, his beloved children, are intriniscally inferior. Of course they are in heaven.

Oceanaa,
Well u hav got it slightly mixed up
There are women in Heaven too ; Angels, the winged celestial beauties!
Heaven is no heaven without angels ,leave alone men, even saints would not stay there without angels!
dont ask any questions to ur husband; most of them dont remember what the priest said, ok
So listen to the following two points
1 whether there are women there or not, you do good and land up there. If god's cronies dont let you in God himself will receive you and make your stay there happy. He might even make a new heaven for you and the like minded
2 In any case making friend wth the men there is not worth it.
u know why?
No real men will be there who will treat u like a lady! The ones who could ,will be mostly in the lower part of heaven called hell!
So relax and try to happily go to heaven!!!

Of course they do. God is our Father for a reason.
Acts 8
12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

I believe that since women play just as equal a part in this world as men, that they are allowed in heaven. If it wasn't for women, men wouldn't even be able to survive, Women are the caretakers of the world and should be allowed in heaven. God wouldn't discriminate against us.

In the Qur'an it mentions women and men with reguards to entering paradise. It also gives women equal rights to men (though you wouldn't know it as how horribly the Muslim world treats women due to cultural reasons.) It also clears up that eve was not at fault, both Adam and Eve sinned equally when they ate from the tree. Then they both repented and were forgiven by Allah (God). It also talk in Islam Qur'an and Hadith about the four greatest women of all time... Mary, the mother of Jesus, Asya the wife of Firawn (who believed in Moses,) Khadija the Prophet Muhammad's first wife, and Fatima, the Prophet Muhammad's daughter (peace and blessings be upon them all.) Allah (God) knows best!

no, women will not. men will not. these flesh bodies are just a temporary shell that we use.
jesus said about the woman who had 6 brothers as husbands there will be neither giving or taking in marriage in heaven. thats because we revert to Only having our spiritual bodies again.
the bible is not as hard to understand as some people would have you believe. you get you a king james version and a strongs concordance and start reading. if something does not make sense you look at that incident of the word in the concordance and if it is still unclear ask the author. He and the spirits of one of satan dead soul's walking will be in the room with you when you are seeking God's word. God can bring you clarity but satans clowns will try to confound you.

I have some great reading for you then: The Book of Mormon!
Contrary to popular belief, it does not dispute the Bible. It is instead an untampered-with book from God that is 'Another Testament of Jesus Christ' as it says on the cover.
It tells us that men and women are equal, but with different duties. The men hold the priesthood, but the women tell their men more opportunities for it to be exercised. In the LDS church, many married men say that they do not feel they would be worthy to go to the greatest Kingdom of God without their wife to keep them on the straight and narrow [path]. The women are often more righteous because of their fewer passions and their exceeding faith. Most women in The Church are practically a shoe-in for Heaven.
If I did not answer your question well enough, please say where you are having trouble understanding. Sometimes I forget to mention parts of God's plan because it is such basic knowledge to me having been in The Church my whole life. :)
