Frenchwoman
Female from Paris
A Frenchwoman is a woman from France or of French nationality.
The term appears in contexts where nationality and gender are both relevant: The Frenchwoman won gold in the 400 meters.
Like other compound nationality terms, it can sound formal or dated; "French woman" as two words is increasingly common.
