The pitch of the voice of women is, in general, higher than that of men.

Biologically, women tend to have shorter vocal cords compared to men. This results in a higher fundamental frequency of the voice, which is perceived as a higher pitch. On average, women`s voices have a higher pitch than men`s voices.

However, it`s important to note that there is significant individual variation within both men and women, and pitch can be influenced by various factors, including vocal training, age, and individual physiology. Additionally, cultural and social factors may also play a role in how individuals speak and the perceived pitch of their voices.

So, while it is generally true that the pitch of women`s voices is higher than that of men, there can be exceptions and variations based on individual and contextual factors.
