forewoman

She was by them considered a good forewoman, kind, and ready to help a girl if a girl tried to earn more money.

The sempstresses-room looks exactly like a large milliner's shop, and here we found a forewoman with eighteen assistants at work.

She writes that she has found money to set up a dressmaking establishment, and that she is relying upon me to be her forewoman.

It paused on the correspondence room and its attractive forewoman.

The forewoman sent down word that No. 105 had not rung up that morning, and that I could have her key.
