Women showing some panache in making news (7)
I believe the answer is:
wenches
'women' is the definition.
(wench is a kind of woman)
'panache in making news' is the wordplay.
'panache' becomes 'che' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'making' is an anagram indicator.
'news' anagrammed gives 'wens'.
'che' going inside 'wens' is 'WENCHES'.
'showing some' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
