Feminine words for occupations...
English is a weird language. There are feminine words for some occupations, though they're so archaic that they are mainly used for surnames now.
The ones I can come up with easily are:
webster -- weaver
baxter -- baker
brewster -- brewer
spinster -- spinner
Are there others?
ETA: I was thinking about words with the -ster construction, though words with the -ess construction are equally valid.
