You could have guessed, right?

2003 Serge C. Lee and Francis K. O. Yuen, in F. K. O. Yuen _International
Perspectives on Disability Services_ (Routledge, 2004) 129: In regard to
Hmong shamanism, 51.3% (n=39) said they still somewhat respect [a] Hmong
shaman/shawoman.

About 10,000 RGs for "shawoman," as one might expect.

As one might not expect, fewer than 5 for "shawomanism."
