I am struggling with these ... does anyone have any ideas please?

1. Hangs around the queen
2. Intellectual, educated women

They have to be an item of clothing.

Thank you.

Thanks SO much for your help but I feel quite stupid here as I don't understand either answer - I really find cryptic type clues difficult.

Are you able to explain how you worked them out please?

1 Hangs=suspends around ER (the Queen)=suspenders

[scotman]

Bluestocking - you either know or you don't

Suspend (er) s

Thanks for that - can see the suspenders one now. I had been trying to find a type of cloak or cape or something to fit so now it all makes sense.

I will investigate bluestocking and see if I can educate myself - that clue certainly does not apply to me so thanks for your help everyone.

Scotman - have now read all there is to read on Blue Stockings so now I know! Thanks for your help. Of course, the trick now is to remember it all for next time.
