Tafseer

What are humans created from?

Q: In the Quran Paak 15:26 man created from mud (I translated in my own words please check reference) while 21:30 every living thing is created from water (again my own words please check reference). Please tell about these two verses and also, jinat and angels are created from fire and noor? 

The address of the Quran being applicable to both men and women

Q: My question is, why doesnt the Holy Quran speak directly to women? The Holy Quran speaks directly to men in several cases but why doesnt it speak directly to women. I am a Muslim and do believe that Allah is the greatest, kind and just and in no way believe that He favoured men over women. Therefore, I do know there must be a reason for why Allah did not directly talk to women in the Holy Quran as with men. I also know that in that age more men could read than women but Allah created the Holy Quran until the end of time not just for that age.
