n. — especially Quebec
a francophone woman from Quebec.
Type: 1. Origin — Québécoise is a lexical transfer from Quebec French. In Canadian English, a woman from Quebec may also be referred to as a Quebecker, which can refer to either gender. The use of the term Quebecoise, which is occasionally but not generally written with the French accents as Québécoise, is more respectful or culturally appropriate, as it anglicizes a term already used for self-identification by francophone women in Quebec (see the 2013 quotation).
See also COD-2, s.v. "Québécoise", which is marked "Cdn", and ITP Nelson, s.v. "Québécoise", which is described as "Quebec".
