Differences between Batgirl and Batwoman

Batwoman debuted first but she never really had her own story and her only purpose was to be Batman's love interest. She was slowly becoming unpopular. She rarely appears in the 70s and the 80s to either fight beside Batgirl or moon over Batman but overall she was effectively retired. Years after, Batgirl was introduced. The publishers decided to go with girl instead of woman so they can distinguish the differences between Batgirl and Batwoman. She has own comics within the Batman comics but she only has one of her own comic. In the 1988 comic,"The Killer Joke" came out and that comic is about how Batgirl got paralyzed and became the Oracle.
