What is the Feminine Gender of a Yeoman? (Yeoman Opposite Gender)

What is a Yeoman?

A yeoman has a few historical meanings:

1. A man who owned and cultivated his own small piece of land. He was part of a social class below the gentry but above the peasants.
2. An attendant or servant in a royal or noble household, often with specific duties (e.g., Yeoman of the Guard).

In all these historical contexts, the role was held by men.

Understanding a Historical Role

Because the title 'yeoman' was tied to specific male roles in the English social and military structure of the past, a direct feminine equivalent never developed. A woman from the yeoman class would simply be known as a yeoman's wife or daughter, without a special title of her own.
