An unattractive female. Mainly prevalent during the time period between the invention of the camera and mass production of make-up/plastic surgery. The definition does not take into account the female's body, focusing solely on the face.
Handsome women can still be found in countries partaking in arranged marriages, thus perpetuating the handsome woman's genetic code. Also England.
Examples of handsome women (plural): Janet Reno, Bea Arthur, Eleanor Roosevelt, Ziggy Stardust, and Mia Farrow in "The Great Gatsby"
Dude, are we witnessing a gay marriage?
Nope, she's just a really handsome woman.
Oh man, no kidding.
