It's her life, it's her gender. She's not implying that her experiences are exclusive to her gender.

She may not mean to be, but from a linguistic standpoint, by using woman instead of person she inherently is implying that the specificity of gender matters.

It's the same as when a guy needlessly genders a woman in a story to make it mysoginistic.
