she
That woman there
You use she to designate a single female baby, girl, or woman, and to designate a female animal when it is important to identify the animal’s gender.
Writers today sometimes use she interchangeably with he in texts as a pronoun with general reference, in order to avoid the perceived sexism of always using he.
By convention, some inanimate things are sometimes referred to with she, including ships, flags, and countries.
