fiancées

Engaged women specifically

Fiancées is the plural of fiancée, referring to multiple women who are engaged to be married.

The word comes from French, where the extra -e marks feminine gender: a man engaged to marry is a fiancé, a woman is a fiancée.

In practice, many English speakers ignore the distinction and use fiancé for both.

Both of his fiancées had broken off their engagements.
