Commentary for Berakhot 40:10
אלא אמר רבא אמר קרא (שמות כ, ז) זכור (דברים ה, יא) ושמור כל שישנו בשמירה ישנו בזכירה והני נשי הואיל ואיתנהו בשמירה איתנהו בזכירה
But, said Raba, [the correct reason why they have to "sanctify" the Sabbath is because] the Scriptures declare, "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy" (Exod. xx. 8) and "Observe the Sabbath to keep it holy" (Deut. v. 12) — everyone who has to "observe" must likewise "remember"; and since women must "observe," so must they "remember."
Rashi on Berakhot
in keeping: of do not do labor. (ibid.)..

and these women, since they are included in keeping: As we learn (Kiddushin 29a): All negative commandments, whether time-determined or not, are obligatory for women, since Scripture equated the woman with the man regarding all Torah punishments.

Abraham Cohen Footnotes to the English Translation of Masechet Berakhot
The obligation to "observe" belongs to women, because there are several "prohibitions" (see p. 132 n. 1) in connection with the Sabbath.

We "remember" the Sabbath by the Kiddush (see Glossary, s.v.).
