Answer:

If a woman accused of a crime is testifying in court, the Fifth Amendment protects her against self-incrimination (she can not be compelled to be a witness against himself), protects her right to due process of law and her right to be heard by a grand jury.

Explanation:

Concerning the rights that protect crime defendants, the Fifth Amendment states: <em>No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.</em>

So, if a woman accused of a crime is testifying in court, the Fifth Amendment protects her against self-incrimination (she can not be compelled to be a witness against himself), protects her right to due process of law and her right to be heard by a grand jury.

The fifth amendment includes guarantees of due process and of the right to refuse to answer questions in order to avoid incriminating oneself.
