Morphology
bitch + goddess
The phrase directly combines the literal senses of 'bitch' (a harsh/vulgar term for a woman) and 'goddess' (a revered female figure), so a learner who knows both words can infer an approximate meaning of a powerful, commanding woman. However, the expression relies on slangy, evaluative connotations and cultural/pragmatic knowledge (reclaimed or ironic uses of 'bitch', register and tone) that are not fully predictable from the parts, making full comprehension uncertain for a B1 learner.
Etymology
The phrase bitch goddess comes from joining bitch, a rude word for a harsh or bossy woman, and goddess, a woman with great power who is admired. Imagine a strict, strong woman whom people both fear and admire, and you can see why the phrase means 'a powerful, assertive woman who is often regarded as domineering or intimidating'.
