In general for the mitzvot that are time bound and so women are exempt but they may volunteer, there is a major dispute as to whether they can recite the brachot. Rambam (Tzitzit 3:9 and Sukkah 6:13) holds that since women are exempt from the Mitzvah of [[Tzitzit]] they can't make a Bracha on it. However, the Raavad (Tzitzit 3:9) and Tosfot (Eruvin 96a, Rosh Hashana 33a, Kedushin 31a s.v. lo mifkadana) quoting Rabbenu Tam argue that even if women are exempt from a mitzvah they may opt to recite the bracha if they want to do the mitzvah. The Maggid Mishna Sukkah 6:13 explains the Rambam as saying that it is impossible to say VeTzivanu if a person is exempt from the mitzvah. Rama O.C. 17:2 follows the Rabbenu Tam. What emerges from the halacha is that Ashkenazim hold that women may recite the bracha upon a mitzvah that they are volunteering to do, while according to Sephardim they may not.

In general for the mitzvot that are time bound and so women are exempt but they may volunteer, there is a major dispute as to whether they can recite the brachot. Rambam (Tzitzit 3:9 and Sukkah 6:13) holds that since women are exempt from the Mitzvah of Tzitzit they can't make a Bracha on it. However, the Raavad (Tzitzit 3:9) and Tosfot (Eruvin 96a, Rosh Hashana 33a, Kedushin 31a s.v. lo mifkadana) quoting Rabbenu Tam argue that even if women are exempt from a mitzvah they may opt to recite the bracha if they want to do the mitzvah. The Maggid Mishna Sukkah 6:13 explains the Rambam as saying that it is impossible to say VeTzivanu if a person is exempt from the mitzvah. Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 589:6 follows the Rambam, while the Rama Orach Chaim 17:2 accepts the Rabbenu Tam.
