ice maiden
Emotionally distant woman
An ice maiden is a woman who appears emotionally cold, aloof, or sexually unresponsive.
The term suggests surface beauty combined with a chilly, unapproachable demeanor: She had a reputation as an ice maiden, but she was just shy.
The phrase often carries sexist undertones, implying that a woman's reserve is a flaw requiring correction.
