No, "master" is not typically used for a girl; the feminine equivalent is "mistress."
As the reference states: "Mistress is the feminine version of the word master. ...The feminine noun mistress has the same meaning as the male noun master: a person who has power or control." This distinction exists to differentiate gender when referring to someone holding a position of authority or ownership.
| Word | Gender | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Master | Male | A person having control or authority; owner. |
| Mistress | Female | A woman having control or authority; female owner. |
While "master" traditionally denotes a male figure in control, "mistress" serves the same purpose for a female. The usage and connotations of both words have evolved over time and can vary based on context.
