noun
lady attendant; female servant
Archaic term for a female attendant or servant in a noble household; often written 便女. Not used in modern Japanese.

The lady attendant took care of the noble's personal needs.
The modern standard reading for 'beautiful woman'; びんじょ is its archaic counterpart.
The reading びんじょ is an older Sino-Japanese reading of 美女; the shift to びじょ reflects a common historical sound change. The kanji 便 in 便女 is used in its sense of 'convenience' or 'service', not the modern 'mail' meaning.
