"The first example of a female ogre being referred to as an ogress is found in Perreault's version of Sleeping Beauty, where it is spelled
ogresse. The Comtesse d' Aulnoy first employed the word
ogre in her story 'L'Orangier et l' Abeille' (1698), and was the first to use the word
ogree to refer to the creature's offspring."
