Airwomen is a term used to refer to women who fly aircraft, whether as pilots or crew members. Some synonyms for the term include aviatrix, female pilot or crew member, air hostess, and stewardess. These terms have been used interchangeably over the years to refer to women who work in the aviation industry. While the term airwomen highlights the role of women in aviation, the synonyms also recognize these individuals as skilled professionals in their field. In recent years, the use of gender-neutral terms such as pilots or cabin crew has become more common in the aviation industry to promote inclusivity and diversity.
