ferrywoman
She rows passengers
A ferrywoman is a woman who operates a ferry, transporting passengers or goods across a body of water.
The term is uncommon, as ferryman has traditionally served as the default regardless of sex, and most ferry operators have historically been men.
The ferrywoman rowed us across the river at dawn.
