/ʃænˈtɜzɪz/ noun

Definition

Plural of chanteuse; multiple female singers, especially those who perform chansons or cabaret music.

Kelly Says

Ethical Language Guidance

Gender History

Plural of chanteuse, maintaining the feminine gendering. Historically used to categorize female singers separately and often inferiorly to male chanteurs, institutionalizing gender hierarchy in performance terminology.

Inclusive Usage

Use 'singers' or 'vocalists' as gender-neutral plural. When historically necessary: 'These chanteuses created modern song interpretation in venues that paid women less and offered fewer touring opportunities.'

Inclusive Alternatives

["singers","vocalists","performers"]

Empowerment Note

Female chanteuses pioneered emotional directness and modernist interpretive techniques that became foundational to post-war vocal artistry across genres.
