Even though Postmistress would sound fun... Postmaster is always "Postmaster" regardless of the gender. :-)
The term "postmaster" is used to apply to both males and females. There are more female postmasters than male postmasters in the US.
The term "postmaster" can refer to both a male or a female, as it is a gender-neutral term used to describe the individual in charge of a post office.
A feminine postmaster is often referred to as a "postmistress." Historically, this term was used to denote a woman in charge of a post office. While the title "postmaster" can be used for any gender, "postmistress" specifically highlights the female role in this position. In modern usage, the term "postmaster" is increasingly gender-neutral.
