who classifies as a 'Woman'?

Hi.
I was just wondering- when does a woman enter womanhood? I know that technically, it is when she is no longer a virgin, but i know 13 year-olds who act more like women than their mothers! They have a greater sense of responsibility and have a maturity to them that some 'women' don't at age 40. So again, what classifies a female as a woman- besides her hymen! Is it the amount of responsibilities she has, how society sees her, her age..what? or is there no specific criteria?
thanx!

Well, a friend of mine who's 21 is married and recently had a kid. SO I went to congratulate her, and as I looked at her carrying her newborn, I realized I was looking at a kid carrying a kid. I am not married yet, but believe to be more of a woman she is right now. I'm not judging her or anything, I think she'll be a great mom, but I was just curious.
Thanx again!
