Women with jobs
Working women are women who hold jobs outside the home, particularly in the paid workforce.
The phrase gained currency in the twentieth century as more women entered professional life, distinguishing them from homemakers.
It can carry political overtones in discussions of workplace equality, childcare, and work-life balance.
Working women still face wage gaps in many industries.
