Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'publicity' (making information known) + 'woman' (female person) yields 'a woman who handles publicity'. This noun+person formation is a common, predictable pattern in English, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the intended job role, even if native speakers might prefer 'publicist' or 'publicity officer'.
Etymology
The term publicity woman comes from the simple image of a woman doing publicity, standing by the phone and cameras to make a person or event known. So a publicity woman is 'a woman who arranges publicity or manages a public image'.
