         Sentence 1:1 see the rather boring point  about using alumni to cover both men and  women, and I.:quite agree that the use of  relatively newer and less widely used terms   ke authoress, aviatrix , and poetess seems  to be a deliberate, unwarranted attempt to  identify someone as a female; but a graduate  of the feminine gender a ‘woman  graduate’ = alumna , the “first woman dancer  ina ballet company’ is a prima ballerina  (I've never heard of a allerino ), and  a ‘woman opera star’ is a diva or prima  donna . | hesitate to point out that we use  prima donna of men, too, because my critics  will say that they disapprove of the term's  second life as designating a temperamental  person of either sex.                                     Sentence 2: The term prima donna can be  used for men.
