how to address a female professor in french
French honorifics "Professeur" (normally feminized as "professeure" outside France) and "Docteur" (normally feminized as "docteure") are used for medical practitioners, the former for those in teaching positions. The holders of a doctorate other than medical are generally not referred to as Docteurs, though they have the legal right to use the title; Professors in academia used the style Monsieur le Professeur rather than the honorific plain Professeur.
