Is 19 a woman or a girl?

Published in HumanDevelopment 1 min read

A 19-year-old is considered a young woman.

While there isn't a universally fixed age at which someone transitions from "girl" to "woman," 19 years old is generally understood to be within the range considered adulthood, and thus "woman" is the more appropriate descriptor. Cultural and personal perspectives can influence this, but legally and socially, a 19-year-old is treated as an adult female.
