Women Linguists
A woman is an adult female human. Prior to adulthood, a female human is referred to as a girl (a female child or adolescent). The plural ''women'' is sometimes used in certain phrases such as "women's rights" to denote female humans regardless of age. Typically, women inherit a pair of X chromosomes, one from each parent, and are capable of pregnancy and giving birth from puberty until menopause. More generally, sex differentiation of the female fetus is governed by the lack of a present, or functioning, SRY-gene on either one of the respective sex chromosomes. Female anatomy is distinguished from male anatomy by the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. A fully developed woman generally has a wider pelvis, broader hips, and larger breasts than an adult man. Women have significantly less facial and other body hair, have a higher body fat composition, and are on average shorter and less muscular than ...

Clann Lir (band)
The ''Children of Lir'' ( ga, Oidheadh chloinne Lir) is a legend from Irish mythology. It is a tale from the post-Christianisation period that mixes magical elements such as druidic wands and spells with a Christian message of Christian faith bringing freedom from suffering. Naming and manuscripts Named in Irish as ''Oidheadh Chlainne Lir'', the tale is today often known simply as "The Children of Lir" but the title has also been rendered as ''The Tragic Story of the Children of Lir'' or ''The Fate of the Children of Lir'', or, from the earlier title ''Aided Chlainne Lir'', as ''The Violent Death of the Children of Lir''.The English translation should properly be "The Children of Lear", Lir being a genitive, but the mistranslation has become culturally embedded. In post 18th-century scholarship, the tale has often been grouped with the ''Oidheadh chloinne Uisnigh'' ("The Fate of the Children of Uisnigh") and ''Oidheadh chloinne Tuireann'' ("The Fate of the Children of Tuirean ...
