editress

I beg to propose that Gipsy Latimer continue to be editress until the end of the summer term.

In all common sense, how do you suppose a magazine can be run properly with a different editress each time?

I don't aspire to be editress of the school magazine, I assure you, nor even a contributor.

Or was she merely a scribbling woman who might be successful as the editress of a woman's dress paper?

Unless you happen to be the proprietor of a weekly paper with a Woman's Page, and need an editress for it.
