If you are talking about something that belongs to more than one woman the correct use of the apostrophe is ladies' as in "the ladies' clothing department."
If you are talking about something that belongs to one woman the spelling is slightly different, although the pronunciation is the same, and you should write lady's, as in "I returned the lady's handkerchief."
