womenfolk
The ladies collectively
Womenfolk refers collectively to women, especially those of a particular family, community, or group: The womenfolk gathered in the kitchen while the men watched football.
The term has an old-fashioned, folksy quality and may sound condescending in modern contexts, implying women as a separate domestic category.
Also spelled as two words.
