n.
  1. 1.

    Synonym of ladies' room: a public lavatory intended for use by women.

    委婉 非正式

    The women's toilet (as distinguished from the ladies' room in a speakeasy, the johnny at school, the little girls' room at a party in an apartment, and the wash-my-hands on a train) was clean enough.

  2. 2.

    Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: A room belonging to or used by little girls, particularly their bedroom.

词源

Originally from the need to find public lavatories for children, possibly by analogy with the somewhat earlier-attested little boys' room, but already in broader euphemistic use by its first known appearance in John O'Hara's BUtterfield 8.
