How to break into the woman's room in Winter Ember

The woman's room is found at the end of the hall upstairs, but it is unlocked and cannot be picked up. To break into the woman's room, you must find another way in. If you look above you, an air vent leads into her room.

Pick the lock of the room across the hall and enter the room. Inside this room, you will be able to access the air duct and enter her room. She will flee through a window on the terrace outside and away upon getting inside. Pursue her.

This will take you to the river where she attempts to flee by boat. You must get ahead of her and activate a switch that will close the river's gate. The boat does not move fast, so you have some time, but you should hurry. Closing the gate will trigger a cutscene where you confront the woman and get your gold back.
