A woman's prayer in her home is better than her prayer in the mosque. However, she is permitted to pray in the mosque provided that there is no fitnah (temptation/strife), suspicion, or any other religiously prohibited matter. There may be some advantages associated with praying in the mosque that make it better, such as the presence of a devout, influential reciter as an Imam, or a teacher who instructs people in what a Muslim cannot afford to be ignorant of, or if there is distracting noise in the home.
