Crossword Genius

Actresses going ahead with convenience (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leading ladies

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'actresses' is the definition.
(leading lady is a kind of actress)

'going ahead with convenience' is the wordplay.
'going ahead' becomes 'leading' ('lead' can be a synonym of 'go'. I am not sure about the 'ahead' bit.).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'convenience' becomes 'ladies' (I've seen this before).
'leading'+'ladies'='LEADING LADIES'
