Woman of rank is a term used to describe a woman who holds a high position in society. The term can be broken down into three different words: DAME (4 letters), Doyennes (8 letters), and EMPRESS (7 letters). A DAME is a female member of the British Order of Chivalry, while a Doyenne is a woman who is respected for her experience and knowledge in a particular field. An EMPRESS is a female ruler of an empire. All three terms refer to a woman of high rank and authority.
