female veteran
Former military woman
A female veteran is a woman who has served in the armed forces.
The term emerged as women's military participation increased, particularly after combat roles opened to women.
It often appears in contexts addressing issues specific to women's service experiences—healthcare, recognition, or resources: The VA expanded programs for female veterans.
