Chinese languages

Can't "女強人" refer to a woman that's emotionally and/or mrntally strong?

are there any shorter ways to say "刚强的女人" and "强壮的女人"?
-------------------
For me,I couldn't choose a suitable slang to say that tilll now.

No.As I said,"女強人" means a woman who is independent of her husband economically.Sometimes they are good at business.(The traditional women in China are supposed to stay home instead of working.)

Hello. Thank you overlocker for your help and responses. This question is for overlocker and all Cantonese speakers.

For "Strong female", in Cantonese slang, can I use the expressions:

saan po
saan dung po
zong fu
keong fu
geong fu
gin fu?

Please let me know.

Though I know Cantonese,I can't read them correctly by those letters you gave.
Can you list the Chinese characters?

Yes-here's the jyutping:

saan po 山婆
saan dung po 山東婆
zong fu 壯婦
keong fu/geong fu 強婦
gin fu 健婦
gin neoi? 健女

I don't know if the first two terms are slang or not.

The second one 山東婆 sometimes could be used to describe those women who are very strong.But few people will say that.
Others are not slangs.At lease not in Cantonese.

Hello Overlocker-thank you for responding. Are there any other members here who speak Cantonese?

U R welcome.

btw,are you a linguist or a student learning chinese?

Hi-I would consider myself to be somewhat of a linguist-I'm doing research on slang and terminology used in other languages.
