What is a Woman?
TALKIE-1930
A woman is a being composed of body and soul, the former being earthly, and the latter heavenly. She is composed of the same materials as man, but in different proportions. Man has a larger share of earth, and woman a larger share of heaven. The soul of man is predominant; the soul of woman subordinate. Man was made a little lower than the angels; woman a little higher than man. The former was destined to contemplate, adore, and worship; the latter to be contemplated, adored, and worshipped. Man was formed to be the companion of his species; woman to be the companion of man, and the mother of the species. In short, man was made a rational creature; woman an affectionate one. Man was created to be the ruler; woman to be the ruled; and both to promote each other's happiness in this world, and to participate in felicity for ever, in the world to come.

A bit high esoteric/spiritual. But the question probably didnt make much sense before a few years ago.
User: Can a man become a woman?
talkie-1930: He can become a woman. In the East, females are sometimes born, who are denominated Hermaphrodites; and in medical books, instances are recorded of persons of this description, having exercised the functions both of men and women. Hermaphrodites have been known to marry, and to have children of both sexes; but, in general, the male sex has predominated. The term hermaphrodite is derived from two Greek words, signifying both male and female. In the animal kingdom, hermaphrodites are not uncommon; and in the vegetable world, they are still more frequent.
Women have existed for much longer than modern politics.
