For clarification, the Women's Grandmaster and International titles are conferred after a certain level of achievement overall in one's career. There is no limit to the number of people who can have those titles. I feel like if you use a phrase like "world title holder" there's an implication that such a world title is like "champion of whatever" and is only held by one person at a time (like a "World Champion(ship title)").
