Some women go to the gym to tone and for a woman's workload, it doesn't require heavy weights. For example, I've seen women do a set of 20 reps on the bench press with just the bar. When you work above 15 reps, you are working on slow-twitch muscle fibers responsible for stamina. The accompanying change in body composition is sleek, well defined muscles opposed to thick harder muscle tissue (low rep, high weight) or bulky, rounded, body builder muscles (med rep, med weight).
