Like the prophesies of Mother Shipton (4)

I believe the answer is:

hers

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

'like the prophesies' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'of mother shipton' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'HERS' is hidden within 'mother shipton'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hers that I've seen before include "Belonging to the female" , "The woman's" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
