My mother amu'sh for example, and numerous other women I know who live alone, will go to a neighbor for havdalah or have one of her grandsons come in and make havdalah for her, but won't make havdalah for herself -- although she has no hesitation about making kiddush for herself. My Lub next door neighbor comes to my house for havdalah when her husband is out of town, and again, she has no problem making kiddush for herself. It's something I've seen all my life but I don't know the reason.>></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #000000; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div><div>Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 296:8. Mishna Berura's conclusion is that she should preferably hear from men, as the Rama says, but if that's not possible she should make havdala herself and drink the wine.
