Etymology

womanful +‎ -ly

Adverb

womanfully (comparative more womanfully, superlative most womanfully)

  1. In a womanly manner.
    • (Can we date this quote?), Anthony Trollope, The Bertrams, p.264
      She manfully struggled on, however - womanfully would perhaps be a stronger and more appropriate word. She had to calculate not only how to play her own hand correctly, but she had to calculate on her partner's probable errors.
