Women's group in US recalled eloquence of Lincoln (9)

'women's group' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'in us recalled eloquence of lincoln' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'recalled' is a reversal indicator (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'eloquence of' becomes 'gabs' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'lincoln' becomes 'abe' (Abraham Lincoln).
'us' reversed gives 'su'.
'su'+'gabs'='sugabs'
'sugabs' placed around 'abe' is 'SUGABABES'.

Can you help me to learn more?
