Women are citizens of Gielinor that can be found in many places across the world, usually alongside men. From a gameplay perspective, they are very similar to men, the only major differences being the appearance and name. They can be attacked, talked to, and pickpocketed.

Trivia

There used to be an unresponsive woman at the top of the Lumbridge cellar house (where Learning the Ropes is completed). If talked to, the words "Nothing interesting happens" would appear. If you examined her, the text would appear as "She seems to doubt the existence of a dragon at all." This was likely an Easter egg that Jagex put in, as the dragon appeared in the cellar directly under the house. She has since been replaced by an attackable level 4 woman.
In Falador, there was a rich level 2 woman with the examine of "One of RuneScape's many citizens. She looks rich." The woman and her mansion were later replaced with the Party Room.
