Woman

A woman is an adult human female. In terms of sex, women typically have two X chromosomes, but variations exist due to intersex conditions. The term is also used to denote gender identity in the context of societal and cultural roles. Women commonly have the ability to bear children or are characterized by secondary sexual characteristics such as breasts. However, it's important to note that there are many ways to be a woman, and these biological characteristics do not exclusively define womanhood.
