businesswomen
Women in commerce
Businesswomen is the plural of businesswoman—women engaged in commerce, trade, or professional enterprise.
The term parallels businessmen but emerged later as women entered commercial fields in greater numbers: The conference brought together businesswomen from across the industry.
Some prefer the gender-neutral businesspeople.
