For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I'm sure the title 'Master of Ceremonies' is used regardless of the gender of the holder. After all, the only alternative would be 'Mistress'...not a word kindly accepted by ladies nowadays! (For example, the mind boggles as to what a "Mistress of Foxhounds" might be up to!)
When the Chaimanship of the Tory Party was in the hands of Theresa May, I understand that she insisted that she be referred to as 'Chairman' and not as 'Chairwoman', presumably realising that so-called correctness can be taken to ridiculous lengths.
