doorwomen
Building entrance attendants
Doorwomen is the plural of doorwoman—a female employee stationed at the entrance of a building, hotel, or club to greet visitors, manage access, and assist with doors and luggage.
The term exists as a gender-specific alternative to doorman, though doorman remains common as a gender-neutral default in casual usage: The building employs two doorwomen on the day shift.
