Given the dated and sexist custom of putting the suffix -ess to denote the feminine in English, a mayoress is a female mayor.
Similar outdated derivatives: poetess, seamstress, aviatrix,Congresswoman( the -aix suffix serves the same function) to denote female poets, sewers, Congress persons, or aviators.
This is dated language. Some would say that the word" actress" falls in a similar vein. Accordingly, you see it used less and less, vs. female lead or male lead to denote the primary actor in a play, movie or television show.
Also to be avoided- " mankind" instead of 'humankind".
