Female nouns
I´m looking for a list of nouns that exist in a male and female form like actor/actress, waiter/waitress, prince/princess...or expressions like lady doctor, woman teacher. Maybe there is a website where I can find such a list? Thanks in advance!

The trend in English usages is to move away from markers of gender like this, and to use terms like "bar staff" and "police officer" that are not gender specific.
