Women are also obligated to light the Chanukah candles, despite the fact that Chanukah mitzvot are generally time-bound mitzvot. The sages instituted the mitzvah of Chanukah for women as well, because they were also involved in the miracle of Chanukah. Therefore, you should light the Chanukah candles in your home.

PLEASE NOTE*
Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
