I believe the answer is:

wunderkind

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'young wizard' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'women given orders by nice' is the wordplay.
'women' becomes 'w' (standard abbreviation).
'given orders by' becomes 'under' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'nice' becomes 'kind' (nice can mean kind or generous).
'w'+'under'+'kind'='WUNDERKIND'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wunderkind that I've seen before include "Perhaps Mozart" , "Extraordinary issue" , "Child prodigy" , "One having early success" , "Clever young person" .)
