Is woman a collective noun

Answer 1

No, the noun 'woman' is not a collective noun.

The noun 'woman' is a word for a person, one person.

A collective noun is a noun used to group people or things in a descriptive or imaginative way; for example, a group of women or a crowd of women.

Answer 2

Woman can be a collective noun, but is generally used in an individual capacity. For example, in the sentence "I saw a woman standing outside the store", the word "woman" is an individual noun. However, in the sentence, "Woman has fought for centuries against adversity and difficulty", this is the use of the word "woman" as a collective noun, referring to billions of women.
