jill-of-all-trades
Female skilled generalist
A woman who can do many different kinds of work competently, though perhaps none with expert-level skill.
The phrase is a feminine form of jack-of-all-trades: She's a jill-of-all-trades—she can fix your car, do your taxes, and build you a bookshelf.
Less common than the original, which applies to people of any gender.
