Woman's experience after capture is hell (11)
I believe the answer is:
netherworld
'hell' is the definition.
(I know that hell can be written as netherworld)
'woman's experience after capture' is the wordplay.
'woman's' becomes 'her' (belonging to a woman).
'experience' becomes 'world' (world is a kind of experience).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'capture' becomes 'net' (both can mean to trap).
'her'+'world'='herworld'
'herworld' put after 'net' is 'NETHERWORLD'.
'is' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
