Morphology
The literal interpretation — a woman who is a member of a political party — is directly and compositionally derived from 'party' + 'woman' and would be clear to a B1 learner who knows both words. However, the additional evaluative nuance of being an unwavering supporter/follower of the party's leadership is not strictly predictable from the constituents and requires pragmatic or cultural knowledge, so the expression is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Party woman comes from a simple image: a party member who is a woman standing at meetings, wearing a badge and always following the leader. So, it now means 'a female member who always supports and follows her political party'.
