Woman is the translation of ishah which definitely means woman and a feminine form. Her is a translation of a feminine pronoun. Ish could be person or man depending on the context. Just like the English we learned in the olden days, a masculine “he” is definitely used of a man and can be used of a person who could be male or female. Yes, Adam means human.
