working mother; part-time working housewife
Refers to a married woman who holds a job (often part-time) while also managing household responsibilities. The term emphasizes the dual role rather than just employment status.
As a working mother, she works part-time three days a week.
The increase in working mothers is driven not only by the need to supplement household income but also by a desire for self-fulfillment.
