They go through puberty and become sexually mature, but their brain isn't developed yet. At this point they're geared towards sex so that they can proceed to the next phase but, thanks to perpetual birth control, many of them remain in their undeveloped state.
After their first pregnancy they go through another "puberty" where their body and brain/hormone system changes again. They become mothers, which is not just a social term (like "father"), but a biological one. Distinct from "mother" is "spinster": a woman of a certain age who has never had kids and is, therefore, under-developed. The brain of a mother is directed towards child care, thus an increase in neuroticism as they try to both keep their kids safe and anticipate and satisfy their needs.
Only after menopause does the brain develop into an adult unencumbered by a specific biological task. This is why many old ladies are seen as "not giving a fuck"; compared to younger women, they are free for the first time in their lives.
That is, however, only if they successfully pass through the other stages. If they remain a spinster, they'll retain the needs and drives of earlier stages that they never satisfied.
This is why a man is so important to a woman. Until menopause, women are unable to navigate, or even see, the objective world as an adult would. They are instead focused on their various stages of biological development, either raising a child, conceiving a child, or being a child. The man provides the guidance and protection they need to navigate their own, personal, challenges without too much exposure to the world at large.
The coda to this is, that in the past, a young woman's older female relatives would try to help her find a good man and steer her in the right direction until she got older.
Feminism destroyed that relationship by teaching young women that their older and wiser counterparts were nothing more than mindless tools of the patriarchy, who have no wisdom to transmit.
I don't think women fully mature until menopause.

The entirety of "feminism" is a willfull blindness to the general case. Men are more likely to be able to handle reality and women are less.
This is very poignant.
