churchwomen
Ladies of faith
Churchwomen is the plural of churchwoman, a female member of a church, particularly one who is actively involved in church activities and governance.
The term gained prominence during movements for women's expanded roles in religious institutions, and churchwomen's organizations have historically been important venues for female leadership and social activism.
The churchwomen organized the annual charity drive.
