A woman /ˈwʊmən/, pl: women /ˈwɪmɨn/ is a female human. The term woman is usually reserved for an adult, with the term girl being the usual term for a female child or adolescent. However, the term woman is also sometimes used to identify a female human, regardless of age, as in phrases such as "Women's rights". Women are typically capable of giving birth from puberty onwards, though older women who have gone through menopause and some intersex
women cannot. Throughout history women have assumed various social
roles in occupation. In some cultures, a majority of women have adopted
specific appearances, such as wearing long hair.[1]
