schoolmistress
Woman who teaches
A schoolmistress is a woman who teaches at or runs a school, particularly at the primary level.
The term is old-fashioned, largely replaced by teacher.
It survives in figurative use for someone who is strict, prim, or moralistic: She spoke in a schoolmistress tone that made everyone feel scolded.
