feminization
Shift toward feminine
Feminization is the process of becoming more feminine or being made more feminine.
It applies to biological changes (hormonal feminization in transgender women), social shifts (the feminization of certain professions like teaching or nursing), or deliberate transformation (voice feminization training).
The feminization of poverty refers to the increasing proportion of women among the poor.
The nursing profession underwent rapid feminization in the early twentieth century.
