«Rabbi Daniel Sperber -

Rabbi Sperber agreed with Rabbi Shapiro's argument that the baraita in Megillah 23a indicated that the Sages instituted "we do not call a woman" as a later prohibition, and that calling a woman was originally permitted. »

«Rabbi Mendel Shapiro -

Rabbi Shapiro's analysis focused on a Baraita in the Babylonian Talmud stating that:

The Rabbis taught (teno) that anyone can be numbered among the seven [called to the Torah on Shabbat], even a minor, even a woman. But the Sages said that we do not call a woman to the Torah because of Kevod HaTzibur (the dignity of the congregation). (Megillah 23a).
Rabbi Shapiro's primary argument, based on the language of this baraita as well as traditional commentaries to it, was that women were only discouraged from performing public Torah reading based on a social concern for the dignity of the congregation ("Kevod HaTzibur"). »

I would like to expound on several Talmudic Passages

Just thinking out loud...

Let's say that at one time women indeed COULD have aliyyot. And that later on, it became Assur to do so -due to K'vod Hatzibbur.

So what changed? Could it be that it changed when Hazal introduced 2 B'rachot per Oleh, instead of just 2 for the entire Laining? K'vod Hatzibbur is thus a policy in order to avoid women saying B'rachot for men.
