Female dominance (also known as female domination or femdom) is a BDSM activity in which the dominant partner is female. The term mistress or dominant mistress is sometimes also used.
The use of domme, dominatrix, dom, or dominant by any woman in a dominant role is chosen mostly by personal preference and the conventions of the local BDSM scene. The term domme is likely a coined pseudo-French feminine inflection of the slang dom (short for dominant). The term was taken up shortly after by the Myron Kosloff title Dominatrix (with art by Eric Stanton) in 1968, and entered more popular mainstream knowledge following the 1976 film Dominatrix Without Mercy. It was initially coined to describe a woman who provides punishment-for-pay as one of the case studies within Bruce Roger's pulp paperback The Bizarre Lovemakers.
Its earliest recorded use in the prevalent modern sense, as a female dominant in sadomasochism, dates to 1961. Its use in English dates back to at least 1561. Dominatrix is the feminine form of the Latin dominator, a ruler or lord, and was originally used in a non-sexual sense.
