The correct spelling of the word is "boatwomen", not "boatman women". The pronunciation is /ˈboʊtˌwɪmɪn/, with the stress on the first syllable. This word is pluralized by adding "en" at the end, instead of the typical "s". It refers to women who are professional boat operators or crew members, and has been used since at least the 16th century. It is important to use the correct spelling and pronunciation to avoid confusion and promote clarity in communication.
