Definition
女杰 refers to an outstanding or heroic woman — someone who achieves remarkable things or shows exceptional courage. The existing English gloss 'upper-class woman' is misleading; 女杰 is about merit and achievement, not social class. You'll see it in historical contexts (e.g., revolutionary heroines) and modern praise for accomplished women.
