Arabic dictionaries define
fata that way, but I guess it's just the age between puberty and "
rushd", which means maturity.
For women it's the same as for the men (eg. walida, radhee3a, tifla), with a few additions describing different physical phases as well (like puberty and the physical changes that occur with it).
