The answer

The call to Allah (Da'wah) encompasses both men and women equally. There is no impediment to a woman going out for Da'wah if she is secure from fitnah (temptation/strife) and her going out does not entail any Shari'ah-forbidden act, such as traveling without a mahram (unmarriageable kin) or neglecting an obligation. As for women spending the night with men in the mosque, there is no objection to it if there is a barrier that screens the women; otherwise, it is prohibited due to the potential for forbidden outcomes, such as the exposure of 'awrah (private parts).
