Get Quran and Women from Amina Wadud. Your library should have it. It'll answer those questions and more. :) It's only about 3/8" thick so it's not a burdensome read.
Ask this over in the Muslims LJ community and you'll probably get a much more in-depth answer from the sisters there. It's one of the most common topics. The laws for women are like the laws for men and the community in general and are really spread out all over the Qur'an. The book mentioned above is also a great resource. I'll log back in this evening if I can once I get my books at home and can cite things directly.
