huntresses
Women who track
Huntresses is the plural of huntress, a female hunter.
The word appears most often in mythology and fantasy contexts—Diana the huntress, Amazon huntresses—rather than describing contemporary women who hunt, who are usually just called hunters.
The huntresses tracked their prey through the forest.
