1 Corinthians 14:35

And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for. woman to speak in the church.

This verse may be addressing another problem among the women in Corinth. Some may have been interupting the assembly with. constant string of questions. 'If she really wishes to learn (rather than assert her right to teach/lead) she can ask her man (not necessarily husband--I am assuming that this writer feels that in the case of. single woman, "her man" at home, would be her father, i.e. the man that she is in subjection to) at home. There is to be no excusing the lady taking the lead.' (McGuiggan p. 184)

'shameful' -these verses are specifically dealing with speech from women in the assembly that would be "shameful".. woman singing isn't shameful,. woman confessing Jesus in the assembly prior to her baptism isn't disgraceful. But. woman taking the lead in the assembly, or. woman interupting the speakers would be.
