女将 (nǚ jiàng) literally means 'female general' — a woman who commands an army. In modern usage it's often used figuratively to describe a highly capable, accomplished woman in any field, similar to 'ace' or 'powerhouse' in English. The pronunciation 女将 uses the fourth tone 将 (jiàng, 'general'), not the first tone 将 (jiāng, 'will/ future').
