"Actress" and "seamstress" are still often used.

"Laundress" used to be a term for a woman who worked in a laundry.

Flight attendants used to be all women and were called "stewardesses" (There were stewards on ships).

Women who were doctors were called "lady doctors" well into the 1960s.

Some people say "Congresswoman" although I think "member of Congress" for both sexes is preferable.
