Carol I have gone to quite a bit of trouble to find a defn. of womyn for
you. i think the reason you did not get replies was possibly due to the
fact that most would assume that the use of womyn was obvious - as to be
distinct from men.
Firstly, a defn. of woman. - means wife of man, alluding to her being
derived from Adam's rib.
Womyn : 'consciously tuning in to our magical energies and the need to act
as healers.'
