The answer

Scholars have differed concerning the ruling on sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in the tashahhud. The Hanbalis held it to be a pillar of prayer, while the Shafi'is deemed it obligatory. The Hanafis and Malikis, however, said it is a sunnah.

There is no explicit evidence for its being a pillar. The hadith of Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari does not indicate its obligation in the tashahhud.

Evidence for its being a sunnah is found in the hadith of Abu Hurairah, which mentions seeking refuge (with Allah) after the final tashahhud.

If a woman omits sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, then the opinion of its being a sunnah is strong. And since she performed the entire prayer with the Imam, the Imam bears the responsibility for this deficiency on her behalf.
