womanliness
Feminine quality, matured
Womanliness is the quality of being womanly—having characteristics traditionally associated with adult women, such as grace, nurturing, or emotional depth.
The term implies a positive, mature femininity: She carried herself with quiet womanliness.
Unlike femininity, which can apply broadly, womanliness specifically suggests the qualities of a grown woman rather than a girl.
