Rosh: Hashem understood (Heivin) the mindset of woman, and created her from a modest place, and not from the legs, hands, mouth, head, eyes or neck lest she use these limbs improperly. Even so, we find that they sinned with them (Leah, Rachel, Miriam, Benos Tziyon respectively).

Rashi: Hashem constructed her like a building (Binyan), wide below and narrow above, to facilitate carrying a baby. ¹

Maharal #1 (Chidushei Agados, Vol. 4, p. 164-165, to Nidah 45b): The Gemara interprets "va'Yiven" as stemming from the word 'Binah' - understanding, for women are blessed with extra Binah. Maharal explains that male intelligence is detached from the physical, whereas feminine wisdom grasps these matters. ² In worldly matters, or matters relating to the home, a husband should defer to his wife. ³

Maharal #2 (ibid.): Feminine wisdom is alluded to with this word "va'Yiven," because she was granted Binah due to her role in completing the Binyan [of man]. Male intelligence, in contrast, is more abstract.

Maharal #3 (ibid.): Another interpretation in the Gemara is that Hashem braided Chavah's hair before bringing her to Adam; braiding is a type of building. ⁴ Conceptually, braiding represents setting limits, to prevent scattering in all directions. This reflects a woman's role; she completes her husband and serves as a protective wall around him. ⁵
