one-woman
By herself alone
One-woman describes something done, performed, or operated by a single woman: a one-woman show, a one-woman business.
The term emphasizes individual effort or solo performance: She runs a one-woman law practice.
Compare one-man, which carries the same meaning for men but has historically been used as a generic default.
