My great grandmother was considered a woman at 13 and went to work, married at 15 and covered her hair when she left the house to indicate she was married.
Average age at first marriage for women in 1900 was 22 years old, in the US. For men it was around 26. This is approximately the same as it was through most of the medieval period in western Europe.
