Yes, absolutely, women do have the right to cut their hair. The length is a personal choice and there is nothing in Islam that would prohibit it. So a woman may cut it as short as she likes or keep it as long as she likes. Of course, the only restriction in this regard may be to maintain the natural difference in the appearance of men and women, as per the noble norms of the society. Thus, woman should not aspire to take up a physical appearance of men - whether in hair styles or in attire - and vice versa. I hope I have clarified the issue. God knows best.
