female workers
Distaff labor force
Female workers are women in the workforce, emphasizing their sex as a distinguishing characteristic.
The phrase appears most often in contexts where gender is relevant: statistics, labor history, workplace policy, or discussions of discrimination.
Female workers earned less than their male counterparts.
The clinical tone suits formal writing; in casual speech, *women who work* or *working women* sounds more natural.
