working girl
Female with job
A working girl is a woman who has a job, especially in contrast to one who stays home: She's been a working girl since she was sixteen.
The phrase also serves as a euphemism for a prostitute, playing on the double meaning of "work." Context usually clarifies which sense is meant, though the ambiguity can be deliberate.
