bushwoman
Female wilderness expert
A bushwoman is a woman who lives in or is skilled at surviving in wild, unsettled country—particularly the Australian outback or African bush.
The term parallels bushman, describing someone adapted to remote wilderness life: She was a true bushwoman, comfortable spending weeks alone in the outback.
