Now you are stretching scripture to meet your definitions.
Anna was a prophetess who lived in the temple (modern day church in her time).
But since you are wanting scripture, how about providing your own.
Show me where women can preach as long as it's not in a church setting (which you imply above in the bold).
And yes, scripture was provided in the case with Anna. I'm not surprised you missed it.
Anna preached Jesus to those looking for redemption. Scripture plainly says that (although it doesn't use the word 'preach', but that's what she was doing, whether you like it or not. Truth is, if Zachariah were mentioned as doing what she did, you would agree he was preaching.).
