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.
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.

All humans (both men and women) have adam's apples. During puberty they begin to protrude further outwards, resulting in deeper voices. However, mens' voices deepen almost instantly, whilst womens' voices gradually deepen over time, and their adam's apples protrude less outwards. As a matter of fact, our voices continue to develop until our late 30s.
