At what age is someone called a young woman? How old are women?

The young woman is probably between 25 and 35 years old.

A young woman generally refers to a woman who has independent financial ability and is married. Nowadays, it generally refers to older married women with independent financial capabilities. The focus is on marital status, so anyone who is married can be called a young woman.

Women, in the official dictionary, is defined as a general term for adult women. It does not simply refer to married women. In judicial interpretations, women over the age of 14 are defined as women, and men and women under the age of 14 are called children. Female refers to an unmarried woman. Women refer to married women, so women generally refer to women.

Extended information:

Before the Qing Dynasty, "women" and "women" refused to appear together. They had their own representative groups. Those who were not married were called "women", and those who were married were called "women". That's why she's called "woman".

The explanation of "woman" in "Shuowen Jiezi" is: a working woman with a broom in her left hand and a dustpan in her right hand, who does housework every day and listens to her husband in everything. It was a matter of the Qing Dynasty to unite married "women" and unmarried "women" into "women" as a whole. Moreover, "woman" is not a word based on physiology, but a concept in a kinship relationship. Only women who can get married and have children are qualified to be called women.

The sign of a well-educated woman is not that she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but that she is able to serve her husband's family comfortably.

In the Republic of China, new women who were going to work refused to call themselves "women" in order to draw a clear line from traditional housewives with bound feet. The name for the women group changed from "" which represents family and kinship relations. Woman”, transformed into “female” based on biology.
