Note
The plural is made inside the compound, not tacked onto its end: spokeswoman follows woman to women, so a form like spokeswomans is always wrong. The first element, spokes-, stays fixed whatever the number. Because each spokeswoman is the voice of a group, the plural can name several women speaking for one body or women speaking for different ones, and it takes a plural verb: the spokeswomen were.
