Adding a not, is by definition, a negation.
I suggest you read an English grammar reference.

Asking how to modify a statement to add a part of speech is a grammatical question.

Incorrect: Correct negation of "He is not a woman" is, "He is a woman."
Everyone in this thread fails.

I literally used the symbol for negation in front of your original statement, which is equivalent to rewriting it

Wrong pronoun. You fail.
"She is a woman" is the correct answer. Anon B gets half marks.
