she shed

noun

plural she sheds

: a small outbuilding (such as a shed) that is used by a woman as a personal sanctuary, an area for hobbies and leisure activities, a home office, or a space to socialize with female friends

Much like the man cave, she sheds have gained popularity worldwide, but are spaces that often embrace natural elements like sunlight through windows, fresh air through open French doors, and birdsong echoing through a Dutch door.
