It's an archaic term, and usually used as a form of orientalism i.e. racism, toward Jewish women. But then again, I am happy to reclaim it. I believe among my lady-Jew friends in Berkeley, CA, we already have. When I stop by my lady-Jew friend's house after work, she greets me, "Here's the Jewess!!!" It's about context. Let it be a source of pride inside the tribe.
