Maitre Hauchecorne was a careful, frugal, and honest peasant in Guy de Maupassant's short story "The Piece of String." He was wrongly accused of stealing a pocketbook, and his persistence in trying to clear his name highlights his sense of honor and dignity. His refusal to accept injustice reflects his strong character.

What is a female maitre d' called?

It appears that even the French don't have a term for it; if you search it up, you will find references to "femme maitre d'" just as you find references to "female maitre d'." So the answer appears to be, simply, "female maitre d'," a term which certainly would upset NOW. If we make no gender distinction with "flight attendant," why make a gender distinction with maitre d'? By now, most English speakers don't even realize that maitre d' is male. Therefore, my suggestion is to call a female maitre d' simply a maitre d' and be done with it.
