It depends on who you ask.
Christians/conservatives define this based on the cell. If the 23 rd chromosome looks like XX, then it is a woman or woman’s cell. If it is XY, then it is man or man’s cell.
They tell me this is what their biology class has thought them. I was thought the same thing in biology class.
It turns out that reality is more complicated. The biology class is talking about the most likely outcome of the body shape and genitalia.
There are some rare cases where a woman has a XY and XXY.
There are some rare cases where a person has both sex organs.
Then, there is the social construct of what a woman is suppose to be. They tend to have longer hair than males. They are more likely to want to wear jewelry, paint their nails, wear makeup, talk on the telephone. As kids, they prefer to play with dolls instead of war games. They tend to wear a skirt.
At one point in time, women stayed at home and took care of the house and baby, they did the shopping. That changed. They are all expected to go to work.
Skirts have become are, specially in the workspace.
Women did not go to war. That changed for western societies.
In short, there isn’t a clearcut definition. The word “woman” is a relative term just like the word, small, big, tiny, huge, short, long, young, old, colorful, smelly, disgusting, delicious.
