Does the Hadith "Seven whom Allah will shade in His Shade" include women, or is it restricted to men only? And is it permissible for a menstruating woman to recite the Qur'an by heart or verbally without touching the Mus'haf, and to perform religious acts such as Tasbeeh?

The general rule is that whatever addresses men also includes women, unless there is evidence that restricts it to one gender. The reason for specifically mentioning men in some rulings is that, generally, they are in charge of their homes and families.
