English has no gender. There is the word "poetess" copied from French and used throughout the 19-th century, but now it is considered more politically correct to call female poets, poets and nothing else.

Elizabeth Browning, victorian times
Maya Angelou, modern.
These are in English, but there are lots more also in other languages.
