workingwomen
Women with jobs
Workingwomen is the plural of workingwoman—a woman who works for wages, especially outside the home.
The term emerged when female employment was exceptional enough to warrant a special word.
It now sounds dated, as most women work and the compound seems redundant: a charity for workingwomen and their families.
Working women (two words) is more common today.
