This is very accepted (that girls / women in the Chassidisheh circles do not fast) based on the folloing premise:

They are either:

too young to fast (and it might hurt their future productivity)

too old to fast

they are expecting / nurshing (or soon will be)

Everyone (according to the chassidisheh mindset) falls into one of the above 3 categories, so aside from Tisha B’Av, Yom Kippur (and in some households, Taanis Ester), women do not fast
