sheila
Down Under lass
Sheila is Australian and New Zealand slang for a woman or girl, the female counterpart to "bloke." The term was common in mid-twentieth-century usage but has faded somewhat: He met a sheila at the pub.
It can sound dated or mildly condescending depending on context. (Capitalized Sheila is a given name.)
