Female panel participants
Committeewomen is the plural of committeewoman—a female member of a committee.
The term appears most often in political contexts, where committeewomen serve as party officials at local or state levels: The Democratic committeewomen organized the precinct vote.
The gender-neutral *committee members* has largely replaced such terms in contemporary usage.
