No idea as to why, but Ii have seen woman with them too. I think its a human thing and they are just more dominant in a male. Feel free to educate me if I am wrong!

The only women with adam's apples...well, you have to go downtown to find them...

Some women have larger Adam's apples than other women, similar to how some women have facial hair or large feet, also characteristics that are more often associated with men.

It sure looks to me like Ann Coulter has an Adam's Apple. She seems to have several male-like features.

To my knowledge I have never seen a woman with an Adam's Apple, but then I haven't been looking for one either. To answer the first part of your question, the human larynx rests in a frame of cartilage bound by ligaments and muscles. At the front is the thyroid cartilage, creating the lump at the front of the neck, known as the laryngeal prominence or more commonly as the Adam's apple. Regarding the etymology of the term "Adam's apple", Webster's 1913 dictionary states that the term "… is so called from a notion that it was caused by the forbidden fruit, (an apple) sticking in the throat of our first parent." Laryngeal prominence The larynx grows during puberty in males much more than in females, and as a result the Adam's apple is typically more prominent in adult men than in women or prepubescent girls or boys. This growth of the larynx is also the reason for the voice cracking in teenage boys. The reason for the Adam's apple being more prominent in males is that the two laminae of the cartilage meet at an angle of 90° in males but that angle is 120° in females. For some transwomen, the Adam's apple remains more prominent than desired, and this is sometimes remedied by a chondrolaryngoplasty (trachea shave), a type of plastic surgery to reduce the size of the Adam's apple. http://tinyurl.com/34ejxd

I thought I saw a woman with an adam's apple once...then I found out she isn't a woman.

Ohh and yes just because a woman has an adams apple does not mean she is a man!! I unfortunately am a woman with an adams apple, although it's not humangus it's still bigger then the norm for a woman and it can be seen when I bend backward or laugh! Also, I hate it but that is how I was born, could I afford the operation I would do it, but another unfortunate thing is I can't afford it and the insurance wont pay for it because it's seen as a "cosmetic" operation! The one thing that at least makes me feel secure that people can't say I was a man is the fact that I have a child!!!
