family woman

Home-centered female parent

A family woman is a woman whose life centers on her domestic role—caring for her spouse, children, and household.

The phrase emphasizes traditional values and priorities: She's a family woman who rarely goes out with coworkers.

Less common than its counterpart "family man," it can sound dated or carry assumptions about women's proper place.
