The definition I got from a dictionary is an adult female person. It didn't say anything about menstruation. In the USA, that means a female who is 18. The menstruation thing may have been relevant hundreds of years ago when the lifespan was 40, but it isn't today. Girls are menstruating earlier and earlier...does that mean the legion of 8 year olds out there who are technically capable of becoming pregnant are women? I think not.
How you raise your daughter is your own business. You ARE still her parent though, regardless if you view her as an adult.
