The '''female''' sex refers to that division of a species which produces eggs. In most mammals, the fertilized eggs, or [[zygote|zygotes]]s, develop inside the body for the full term and the fetus is expelled to the outside in [[birth]], to be nurtured by [[milk]] produced by [[mammary glands]]. A female human child is called a [[girl]]. With the commencement of [[menstruation]] a girl becomes a biological [[woman]].
