∙ 12y agoNo, most women do not have an Adam's apple. However, some women were born in a male body, for example because of a drug taken by the mother during pregnancy, and have had corrective surgery. This is a form of transsexualism, and these women generally do have an Adam's apple.
Yes, women do have an Adam's apple. It is also known as the voice box or larynx. Everyone has one! It is during puberty, that the larynx in males, grows larger, making it stick out more. This is when the voice deepens. In girls, the voice doesn't deepen, so their larynx isn't noticeable.

∙ 14y agoMen are born with A"dam's Apples" which is just another name for the Larynx also called the "Voice Box." During puberty the voice box enlarges and this results in the sound of a boy's voice becoming deeper. This is often described as a boy's voice "breaking" as it changes from the higher pitched voice of a child to the deeper pitch of an adult male.

∙ 10y agoThe Adam's apple is the enlarged thyroid cartilage in males. The thyroid cartilage is a ring of cartilage in the front of the neck that lends structural support to the larynx.
Women also have thyroid cartilage and it is present in both sexes from birth. However, as males enter puberty, testosterone causes the larynx and thyroid cartilage to widen. This increases the diameter of the area inside the larynx (which is where the vocal cords are). This results in men having lower voices then women.
