# Some poskim say that women aren't obligated in making a hundred [[brachot]] daily since it's a time-bound positive obligation, <ref> Halichot Bayta 13:note 2 in name of Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, Sh”t Teshuvot VeHanhagot 2:129, Sh”t Shevet HaKehati 3:63, Birkat Eitan (pg 62), Vezot HaBracha (pg 185, chapter 20), Sh”t Ateret Paz 1:1, Shevet HaLevi 5:23, and Sh”t Rivevot Efraim 3:47, 5:114 write that women are exempt and some base it on the Magen Avraham regarding Zecher Yetziat Mitzrayim in Shema who disagrees with the Shagat Aryeh. Halichot Bat Yisrael (end of chapter 14) writes that women aren't obligated since they're not obligated in all the same brachot as men.

Yalkut Yosef (Otzar Dinim LeIsha 6:1 pg 75) cites some who say that after the fact women can fulfill their obligation with praises of Hashem or by answering Amen to the brachot of others.

# Some poskim say that women aren't obligated in making a hundred [[brachot]] daily, <ref> Sh”t Teshuvot VeHanhagot 2:129, Sh”t Shevet HaKehati 3:63, Birkat Eitan (pg. 146), Vezot HaBracha (pg 185, chapter 20), Sh”t Ateret Paz 1:1, Shevet HaLevi 5:23, and Sh”t Rivevot Efraim 3:47, 5:114 write that women are exempt from making one hundred brachot each day. Halichot Bat Yisrael (14:47 p. 183) writes that women aren't obligated since they're not obligated in all the same brachot as men. His proof is that the poskim starting with the Bet Yosef 46:3 who counted the amount of brachot never counted how women would get to a hundred brachot. He cites the Shevet Halevi 5:23 who agrees. The Ateret Paz 1:1 agrees for the same reason. He also proves it from the Rambam Tefillah 7:15 who counts a hundred brachot for men and not women. Halichot Bayta 13:1 writes that some say women are exempt. In fnt. 2 he cites Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach that it is reasonable that originally women were never obligated since on a fast day it isn't possible for them to do it since they can't put on Tefillin or Tzitzit.</ref> while others say that they are as obligated as men. <ref> Rav Elyashiv in Yashiv Moshe (pg 19), Birkat Eitan (pg 141), [http://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/703731/Rabbi_Hershel_Schachter/Women_at_Prayer Rav Hershel Schachter in a shiur on yutorah.org ("Women at Prayer" min 28)], Chacham Ovadyah in Halichot Olam (vol 1 pg 59), Halacha Brurah 46:8, and Yalkut Yosef (Otzar Dinim LeIsha 6:1 pg 75) write that women are obligated since it’s a obligation that applies the whole day and is renewed every day similar to the Shagat Aryeh regarding Zecher Yetziat Mitzrayim in Shema.
