Aviatrix and aviatrice were terms used to denote women aeroplane operators. Among the most famous aviatrices in the U.S. during the pioneer aviation era were Harriet Quimby, Blanche Stuart Scott and Ruth Law. As is the case today, aviator can be used to denote people who operate aeroplanes, regardless of gender.
