defenestrata

A female person (or, conceivably, a female alien or a gorilla or something) who, literally or figuratively, throws (something or someone) from a window.

Loan word from the Italian (non-proper) word "defenestrata; " see en.wiktionary.org/wiki/defenestrata. The English word "defenestrate" means "To eject or throw (someone or something) from a window" (en.wiktionary.org/wiki/defenestrate). The natural feminine word for one who defenestrates would be "defenestrata."

Used figuratively: "Yeah, after all of the people the CIO fired, she's quite a defenestrata."

Defenestration

The act of throwing someone out of a window. It was repurposed for discussion among intellectual circles to refer to cases in history in which a leader or influential individual was forcefully deposed from power and replaced by the person who deposed them. Originally repurposed due to the creation of the French First Republic, when many Jacobin loyalists (radical anti-monarchists) threw sympathisers of constitutional monarchy (moderate revolutionary) out of windows to fill their representative seats with other Jacobin loyalists.
