The word ‘conductress’ refers to a female conductor, particularly in contexts such as transportation (like trains or buses) or orchestras. In transportation, a conductress is responsible for overseeing passengers, collecting fares, and ensuring safety during the journey. In music, she leads and directs the performance of an orchestra or choir. The term is less commonly used today, with ‘conductor’ often being a gender-neutral term for both males and females in these roles.
