Which Spider-Woman are we talking about? Jessica Drew was something like six or eight when she came down with radiation sickness (on the slopes of Mt. Wundagore in the '50s), was treated by the High Evolutionary and placed into an almost-stasis to recuperate, and the effects of the treatment, which included using spider venom, gave her her powers. Julia Carpenter was mutated as an adult. Not sure about the other two (Charlotte Witter and Mattie Franklin), as I've never read up on their origins. (Ultimate!Jessica Drew is a gender-altered clone of Peter Parker, so that might qualify as mutant by the classic definition, though not the more modern definition which ties it to a specific genetic code.)
