A quick definition of forematron:

Forematron: A long time ago, when women were not allowed to do many things, there were special juries made up only of women. The forematron was the leader of this jury, kind of like a captain of a team. They would help make important decisions and make sure everyone followed the rules.

A more thorough explanation:

Forematron is an old-fashioned term that refers to the head juror in an all-female jury. This term is not commonly used today.

In the early 1900s, women were not allowed to serve on juries with men. Instead, they would form their own all-female juries, with a forematron as the leader.

For example, if a woman was accused of a crime, she would be tried by a jury of her female peers, with a forematron presiding over the proceedings.

Today, women are allowed to serve on juries with men, and the term forematron is no longer used.

The example illustrates how the term forematron was used in the past to describe the leader of an all-female jury. It also shows how societal norms have changed over time, allowing women to serve on juries with men.
