I take it you're asking about human skeletons?
The female's pelvis is wider than the male's. This allows babies to pass through it. It also puts the adult woman's thigh bones at a bit of an angle, which makes her knee joints somewhat less stable than a man's knees.

The shape of the pelvis is different in male and female skeletons. On women the foramen (hole) in the center of the pelvis is large enough for an infant's head to pass through.
That's really it.

The female skeleton has a smaller frame and thinner bones and wider hip bones.

The pelvic bone in a female is not fused so it can spread a bit for the delivery/birth of children.

Among some of the differences are skull structure, pelvic differences, and arm structure differences.
