Can women perform Ekadashi Shradh?

Yes, women can perform Ekadashi Shradh, especially in the absence of a male family member. Widows, in particular, have traditionally performed Shradh for their deceased husbands on the relevant tithi. Daughters and daughters-in-law can also act as karta when guided by a qualified pandit. The Matsya Purana recognises that the sincerity of the performer matters more than their gender. In modern practice at Prayagraj, many women independently perform Shradh ceremonies during Pitrupaksha with full Vedic procedures.
