When addressing a letter to more than one female at the same address, what is the proper greeting Dear?

Question

I know when addressing a letter to more than one male at the same address the greeting Dear "Messrs. "is used. What is the feminine equivalent?

Answer 1

If you are addressing several women who reside (or receive mail) at the same address, you usually refer to them as "Mmes." followed by their last names. Mmes. is short for the French "Mesdames", which is plural for "Madame." This is rarely used, but is the proper way to do it.

Example: Dear Mmes. Smith, Jones, Johnson, and Taylor

This pertains to both married and unmarried women.

There is power in words. That's why all the politicians hire people to manipulate their words for them, in slogans and speeches. The phrase "Dear Birthmother" slots everyone into place. You are the birthmother. We are the adoptive parents of your baby. No wiggle room. Our roles are defined. To refer to a pregnant woman simply and truthfully as a pregnant woman or as a mom-to-be keeps the scenario open to interpretation. It doesn't pin her in place. It doesn't tell her what her job is. How sad, that for some women, the only time they feel loved and recognized is when they are given the title "birthmother". Not an aspiration most of us would want for our daughters. But that's all part of it, too: a woman who doesn't have support in her life, trying to find a way to be special, no matter what the long term consequences might be. This is why having loved ones is crucial in life. No one ever wants to be so alone that the only support they can find is from the people who are trying to get the baby that's still inside their body. How tragic is that?

Answer 4

Dear Ladies works.

Answer 5

Dear Madams, if married --- Dear Madmoiselles, if single

Dear Ladies is appropriate, so is:

Greetings to all of you, -- Hello to all of you,

Dear K___, L____, M____ and N____,

Common sense prevails in any event.

Answer 6

I think you have several possibilities, but unless this is a formal business context, I would probably choose "Dear Friends"

Depends.
You could put "Dear Mrs Smith and Julie"
"Dear Mrs Smith, Julie and Sandra"
"Dear Mrs Smith and girls"
"Dear Julie, Sandra and Emma"
.
