How do I say 'strong woman' in Spanish?
Not physically strong, but emotionally strong. Someone who can endure the pains of life.

As in English "strong" woman = mujer fuerte.
If you are talking about physical strength it will be understood as being probably a muscular woman, if on the contrary, the theme is about feelings it will be understood as such... |

For an emotionally strong woman, I would suggest "guerrera" and "luchadora".

Fría y calculadora tiene un significado negativo, y fuerte suele ser
positivo. Merkel es una mujer poderosa.

Chileno, "warrior" (guerrera) would not work well in English but "fighter" (luchadora) would. "Fighter" is often used to describe a patient who struggles against her disease, who takes an active interest in what is happening to her, etc. Another term would be "tough".

Chileno, I was in Mexico in September, and I heard "guerrera" used there. No confusion there as to the meaning. I don't recall hearing it elsewhere in Spanish.
