Wherein women may turn up, albeit possibly hard to view (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

purdah

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

'wherein women may turn up albeit' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'possibly hard to view' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'view' becomes 'pu' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hard' with letters rearranged gives 'rdah'.
'rdah' after 'pu' is 'PURDAH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for purdah that I've seen before include "Screening curtain; seclusion" , "Seclusion of women as religious practice" , "State of social isolation" , "Eastern tradition of keeping women secluded" , "Hindu system of keeping women from sight of men" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
