Wherein the women rush about a lot? (5)

I believe the answer is:

harem

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

'wherein the' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'women rush about a lot?' is the wordplay.
'women rush' becomes 'ha' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'a lot?' becomes 'm'.
'ha'+'re'+'m'='HAREM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for harem that I've seen before include "House of concubines" , "Women's place" , "Place for wives of 25 ac" , "Living quarters of wives in a Muslim household" , "women live here" .)
