The author, reflecting, urges on Catherine and Victoria for example (9)
I believe the answer is:
empresses
'catherine and victoria for example' is the definition.
(I know that Catherine II is a emperor)
'the author reflecting urges on' is the wordplay.
'the author' becomes 'me' (the author of the crossword).
'reflecting' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'urges' becomes 'presses' ('press' can be a synonym of 'urge').
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'me' written backwards gives 'em'.
'em'+'presses'='EMPRESSES'
(Another definition for empresses that I've seen is " Female rulers".)
