Works for the abbey with women vocalising legal entitlements (6)
I believe the answer is:
writes
'works' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for writes that I've seen before include "Pens" , "Communicates by letter" , "Creates (a book)" , "Puts words on paper" , "Drops a line" .)
