countrywoman
Woman from home
A countrywoman is a woman from rural areas rather than cities, or a woman from one's own country.
The rural sense emphasizes someone familiar with farm life and country ways: She was a countrywoman who knew every hedgerow and field.
The national sense appears in phrases like fellow countrywoman: The ambassador greeted her countrywoman warmly.
