<point><b>Women's obligation</b> – This approach could explain that the very drinking of the four cups of wine publicizes the miracle of the redemption (פרסומי ניסא).  As such, women are obligated since they too were part of the miracle ("שאף הן היו באותו הנס").‎<fn>This would work nicely with the position cited in the name of R. Moshe Soloveitchik that "שאף הן היו באותו הנס" applies only to mitzvot whose essence is to publicize the miracle.</fn></point> | <point><b>Women's obligation</b> – This approach could explain that the very drinking of the four cups of wine publicizes the miracle of the redemption (פרסומי ניסא).  As such, women are obligated since they too were part of the miracle ("שאף הן היו באותו הנס").‎<fn>This would work nicely with the position cited in the name of R.
