"Jewess" is not a term I would ever use to describe myself or my daughter, or any Jewish woman, for that matter. To me it sounds offensive, and strikes me as a negative moniker given by non-Jews to Jewish women at a time when being defined or described by the "other" was to have been demeaned. No thank you--not cool.
