I mean, it depends on the subgenre? Some of the stuff that's aimed at my mom's peers defines "woman" as "wealthy wife of a retiree who has dedicated her whole life to her husband and kids and is now taking time for her, which in this case means micromanaging everyone else's lives and drinking martinis at the beach house" but that's not actually. a better. definition. Not when it defines everyone who is not the wealthy wife of a retiree with a beach house and adult children as a nonpersons.
