Why is it feminine?

Mujer is feminine because it descends from Latin "mulier" (woman), which was grammatically feminine. Spanish inherited the grammatical gender of Latin nouns. Although many feminine nouns in Spanish end in -a, "mujer" retained its feminine gender through the sound changes that transformed Latin "mulier" into Spanish "mujer", demonstrating that grammatical gender is independent of word endings.
