The answer

A woman's imamate (leadership in prayer) for Friday prayer is not valid for men or for women. This is because a woman is not among those for whom Friday prayer is obligatory. A condition for Friday prayer is that a man leads it. Therefore, Friday prayer is not valid if led by a woman, and whoever prayed behind her must repeat the Dhuhr (noon) prayer.
