Is Västerås safe for women?

I would say fairly safe. You can go out alone as a woman, even after dark and don't have to be afraid. Public transportation is sparse on late evenings or at night, but still safe for women. What might happen is that someone who's had a bit too much alcohol (or other substances) might try to talk to you. Risk is higher if you are young or good-looking. At night, especially on workdays, there is not much people around, since everything is closed, and you might feel uneasy. Daytime is very safe, any day. Lots of women everywhere.

It’s good transportation and not super big either. If you stay in the city you will be close to everything and there will not be any crazy stuff at night. I have walked home by myself late at night many times.
