 \voiceOne << \global \Sa \Sb >> means that those three parts overlap,
as you say...

I'm guessing what you want is

   \new Staff = women <<
     \new Voice \global
     \new Voice = "S" {\Sa \Sb }
     }
   >>
   \context Lyrics \lyricsto "S" { \womena \womenc }
   \context Lyrics \lyricsto "S" { \womenb }

I've completely not tested it and may be wrong but you could try...
