This clue might be a double definition.

'carpenter' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'Carpenter of note' mean 'karen' so perhaps 'carpenter' could also mean 'karen')

'female' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for karen that I've seen before include "Carpenter of note" , "One at home in 15 across [AARHUS]" , "Girl's name - ethnic Thai in Burma" , "Girl" , "oriental language" .)
