Someone who tries their best and doesn't give up, even when things are difficult.
This combines 'hard' meaning difficult and 'working' - doing difficult work without giving up!
Being hardworking means you keep trying even when something is tricky! Like practicing tying your shoes over and over until you get it - you don't give up!
Coded gendered language: women historically described as 'hardworking' to denote acceptable feminine labor (servile, domestic); men described as 'ambitious' or 'driven.' Same effort, different moral valence.
Use consistently across genders. Pair with specific outcomes ('achieved X while managing Y') rather than moral character judgments.
["productive","dedicated","accomplished","effective"]
Women's labor has been undervalued by reframing effort as moral duty rather than achievement; use outcome-focused language to restore equal credit.
