When "들" is added, does that always make it specific? As generalizations do not require "들"

~이 gives a specific subject. ~들 clarifies plurality. You are correct in that generalizations do not require ~들, but they'd use ~은 instead of ~이 since generalizations talk about a topic rather than a specific subject (like a particular woman or group of women)

여자들 means women. -이/-가 is the subject particle. -은/는 is the topic particle. The topic is often times also the subject, but not always. You'd use the topic particle for generalizations though (e.g. "the women are beautiful" vs "women are beautiful") and also to provide contrast. For more info I suggest reading the tips and notes for the first couple of Duolingo skills. You can find them on the desktop/mobile site (not in the app unfortunately).
아름답습니다 is the formal high (most polite) form of 아름답다 (to be beautiful).
