ASL retains fingerprints of the Langue des Signes Française, including gender in nouns, with masculine signs near the forehead and feminine signs near the chin.
For International Women’s Day, a celebration of women’s achievements and a call for gender equality and women’s rights, My ASL Dictionary has a 2014 cartoon of a Lady dressed as a Queen in a Playing Card costume showing the ASL hand sign for WOMAN.
The thumb tip of 5 hand touches the chin, then arcs down to the chest.
