I never knew a woman could actually have one... so I looked it up:
The Adam's apple is usually more prominent in adult men than in women or prepubescent girls or boys. Note that the growth of the larynx itself during puberty is responsible for the vocal instability in teenage boys, not the Adam's apple. The Adam's apple is merely the protrusion one sees of the thyroid cartilage making up the body of the larynx. Some suggest that the reason for the Adam's apple usually being more prominent in males is that the two laminae of the thyroid cartilage that form the protrusion meet at an angle of 90° in males but that angle is usually 120° in females. This theory, however, seems more like conjecture when in fact that with most women with large Adam's apples, they appear no different from those seen on men.
A prominent Adam's apple is commonly considered a male secondary sex characteristic though this is more of a perception than anything pointing to scientific fact since not all males have Adam's apples and there are quite a few women who do.

I have never met a real woman with an Adams apple. I am sure it is possible to have a faint look of an Adams apple. I know it is not common though.
I would say just make sure she is truly a female and not a former man or a man in drag.

Women has adam apples bcause they are borm as MAN, and they later change the sex to a woman. Or they are gay dress in woman clothes. Gay are gereally quite pretty and it would be difficult to guess when they have makeup on.
The tell tale is the adam apple and of course the coarse voice that project. Otherwise you can hardly tell the differences..
take care

I have a small (visible) Adam's apple. It could be because of my lower pitched voice.

Women do not have addam's apple, if you see a female having one, then be sure that she is not a "she", she is a "he".
