Plural form of czarina; multiple wives of czars or female rulers with czar-like authority.
The English plural of czarina, formed by adding -s to the singular Russian-derived noun.
Russia had some of history's most powerful czarinas, like Catherine the Great, yet we rarely use the plural form czarinas in English—showing how English speakers think of individual rulers rather than groups of female monarchs, unlike how we casually pluralize 'kings' and 'queens.'
Plural of czarina. The repeated use reflects Russian imperial history where multiple women held power, yet the gendered form sometimes obscures their equal sovereignty to male tsars.
Use 'czarinas' for historical reference, but clarify that women so titled held equal autocratic power to their male counterparts.
