wondergirl
Exceptional young woman
A wondergirl is a young woman or girl of exceptional talent or achievement—someone who impresses with precocious ability: She was the wondergirl of Silicon Valley, launching her first company at nineteen.
The term carries admiration but sometimes implies the person's youth is part of what makes their accomplishments notable.
Often spelled as two words: wonder girl.
