A woman 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. The term woman is also sometimes used to identify a female human, regardless of age, as in phrases such as "women's rights". "Woman" may also refer to a person's gender identity. Women with typical genetic development are usually capable of giving birth from puberty until menopause. In the context of gender identity, transgender people who are biologically determined to be male and identify as women cannot give birth. Some intersex people who identify as women cannot give birth due to either sterility or inheriting one or more Y chromosomes. In extremely rare cases, people who have Swyer syndrome can give birth with medical assistance. Throughout history women have assumed or been assigned various social roles.
The spelling of woman in English has progressed over the past millennium from wīfmann to wīmmann to wumman, and finally, the modern spelling woman. In Old English, wīfmann meant "female human", whereas wēr meant "male human". Mann or monn had a gender-neutral meaning of "human", corresponding to Modern English "person" or "someone"; however, subsequent to the Norman Conquest, man began to be used more in reference to "male human", and by the late 13th century had begun to eclipse usage of the older term wēr. The medial labial consonants f and m in wīfmann coalesced into the modern form "woman", while the initial element, which meant "female", underwent semantic narrowing to the sense of a married woman ("wife"). It is a popular misconception that the term "woman" is etymologically connected with "womb", which is from a separate Old English word, wambe meaning "stomach" (of male or female; modern German retains the colloquial term "Wampe" from Middle High German for "potbelly"). Nevertheless, such a false derivation of "woman" has appeared in print.

Genres: Crime, Drama, Music,Women, can't live with 'em
And somehow you can't ever live without
Women, can't understand 'em
But tryin' to is what makes the world go 'round
I've made a sad one laugh and I've made a good one cry
I've made one scream my name to the good Lord by and by
I've made 'em go insane and I've made 'em go away
Just can't ever seem to make one stay
Women, they're all crazy
Some hide it well and some just let it show
Women, take it from me
I've been around enough of them to know
I've made a sad one laugh and I've made a bad one cry
I've made one scream my name to the good Lord by and by
I've made 'em go insane and I've made 'em go away
I just can't ever seem to make one stay
Women, ain't no winnin'
When all they want to do is fuss and fight
Women, keep our heads spinnin'
