Iron woman's hats (7)

I believe the answer is:

fedoras

'hats' is the definition.
(fedora is a kind of hat)

'iron woman's' is the wordplay.
'iron' becomes 'Fe' (chemical symbol for iron).
'woman's' becomes 'doras' ().
'fe'+'doras'='FEDORAS'

(Another definition for fedoras that I've seen is " Felt hats with creased crowns".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
