Women’s stories about a daughter (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ladies

'women's' is the definition.
(lady is a kind of woman)

'stories about a daughter' is the wordplay.
'stories' becomes 'lies' (I've seen this before).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'a daughter' becomes 'ad' (I've seen this in other clues).
'lies' going around 'ad' is 'LADIES'.

(Other definitions for ladies that I've seen before include "...... and gentlemen" , "Well-mannered women" , "Females" , "Wives of knights" , "Lords' wives" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
