Am I petty enough to go through multiple 1700-1830ish dictionaries in search of the word "preacheress," just to prove that a) it never existed, and b) Motherfricking Hudson made it up?
. . . yes.
Yes I am.
(The prevailing definition of preacher, throughout that time period, was "one who discourses publickly upon religious subjects" -- but apparently that was just too darn gender-neutral for Mr. Hudson to use on the avowedly genderless Public Universal Friend)
