Aviatrix is a term used to refer to a female aviator. It is a specific designation for women who fly aircraft, encompassing both professional and recreational pilots.
While “aviatrix” is less commonly used today, with “pilot” or “aviator” being more gender-neutral terms, it historically highlighted the achievements of women in aviation. Notable aviatrices include Amelia Earhart, Bessie Coleman, and Jacqueline Cochran, who made significant contributions to the field and helped pave the way for future generations of female pilots.
