'Woman' in the Bible

The young woman then came to the king like this: whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the women's house to the king's house.

"All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, know, that whoever, whether man or woman, comes to the king into the inner court without being called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king might hold out the golden scepter, that he may live. I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days."
