What do you call a woman who never gets married?

노처녀?

 

In English, the term "spinster" has been used for females, but it has a sexist, negative connotation because it does not apply to men. 

 

What is a female bachelor (미혼 여자)?

What is a female 총각?

노처녀 means also a sexist and negative, too. I would like to say 미혼 여성, or 독신주의자.

미혼 여성 is a woman(or women) who is not married yet. it doesn't know she wants to get married or not.

독신주의자 is someone (Both men and women) who do not want to get married. 

-나는 독신주의자에요.
