Women are able to bear children--which is the subject of obstetrics--and have sexual characteristics that differentiates them from men. The subject of female reproduction and reproductive organs is called gynecology.
The general study of women at universities is pursued under the heading "Women's Studies," though, presently, that study is closely associated with feminism, sometimes even radical feminism. The study of gender is also closely related.
