A popular term these days, but I don't know the English equivalent. Seems to mean a female with a tough physique and/or attitude that traditionally would have been equated with masculinity...

Warrior Maiden; Female Warrior Attendant
Originally, "金刚" means
"Buddha's warrior attendant". So, here , how about translating "女金刚" into "warrior maiden" or " (Buddha's )female warrior attendant"?
