Teacher is one of the few cards that describes a female-heavy profession, but Teacher is male. Most cards are gender-neutral in English, but the "witches" are all female and Taxman is male. There's also Harem, which... yeah, ok.
Duchess is a niche gain at best. It can be a life-saver when something horrible like Sea Hag is on the board. I guess we can give Sea Hag a pass because there's an equally negative hermit/madman?
The one thing I actually would have wanted to see change is that I'd rather see the singular "they" when referring to players. It's more or less established as a thing, whereas well-meaning pronouns with z's in them are a nice thought and all, but no.
