boss lady

Woman in charge

A boss lady is a woman in charge—a female boss, business owner, or someone who takes control of situations with confidence.

The term is often celebratory, embracing female authority and ambition: She's a total boss lady, running three companies.

It appears frequently in entrepreneurial and self-empowerment contexts, sometimes on merchandise and social media hashtags.
