'''Women''' is the plural form of the noun, 'woman' - the female of the human species. The sole biological role of women is the bearing and nurturing of offspring.  In preparation for this role, the industrious woman makes the appropriate hormonal changes to facilitate the following: a women's breasts are grown (proverbially) at puberty, forming the most striking physical and aesthetic difference between women and men after the reproductive organs, and electrical conductivity of the skin. The breasts are all a woman needs in order to bear progeny, though the details of their function remain uncertain.  Other notable physical differences include a layer of subcutaneous fat under the skin which hides the underlying musculature and a wider pelvis to facilitate carrying the embryo and allowing it it pass out of the body.  Women also have a greater proportion of fine vellus hair over certain areas of their skin (such as their face and legs) than the coarse terminal hair which appears on men. {{fact}}

While men have typically two or three times more upper body strength than women, their leg strength is comparable and women have proven more durable in feats of physical endurance. Women have slightly longer average lifespans than men, which results in women overtaking men in population by middle age despite a 1.05:1 male to female ratio at birth in the United States.  This rate varies among countries. {{fact}}
