Of course, women can't pick and choose. If they decide to m'kayem the
mitzvos she-ha-z'man g'rama, they must fulfill all of them (perhaps with
some necessary exceptions).


CM responds:

I do not see what is so "Of course" about it. Do you have any source for 
your assertion other than your personal opinion? Without a source to the 
contrary, I see no reason why a woman would not be able to pick and choose a 
personal menu of (suitable) mitzvot to observe she would otherwise be patur 
from without the requirement that she do them all.
