Taking advantage of travel concessions (shortening prayers, combining prayers, and breaking the fast) is permissible for one who travels a distance of 83 km or more, provided their journey is lawful. This is the view of the majority of scholars. A woman's travel over a travel distance without a is an act of disobedience, and she is not permitted to avail herself of these concessions therein, because concessions are not allowed for a journey of disobedience.
