forewoman
Female crew chief
A forewoman is a woman who supervises workers, especially in a factory, construction site, or other manual labor setting.
The term also applies to the presiding member of a jury who speaks on its behalf: The forewoman read the verdict aloud.
The role parallels foreman, with foreperson serving as the gender-neutral alternative.
