There is no special role for women during Ramadan fasting. Muslim woman role in Ramadan fasting is the same as that for the Muslim man. Her role as woman or wife during the month of Ramadan should be the same as woman and/or wife role out of Ramadan month. The only exception is that she should break fasting during the menstruation (period) and to compensate for these not fasted days after end of Ramadan but before the next year Ramadan. Also, if she is pregnant or feeding her child and can't fast from health point of view, then she is entitled to break fasting and compensate for these days as soon as convenient to her.
