Can refer to adult women or young girls depending on context.
For gender-neutral contexts, consider using 人 (hito) or 子 (ko) instead of 女.
Use 女性 for formal contexts (e.g., news, documents), and 女 for casual speech.
The kanji 女 is a pictograph representing a woman, originally depicting a woman kneeling with her legs apart.
In modern Japanese, 女 is often used in compound words and can be more colloquial than 女性 (which is more formal).
