Sie sind Frauen is also the formal way to say "you are women", while Ihr seid is informal and always plural

So if "Sie sind Frauen" can be both " They are women" and "You are women", how do we know which one is correct?

sie sind Frauen = They are women
Sie sind Frauen = You are women (fml.)
The formal Sie in the sense of you is always capitalized for this reason.

Ihr is a plural of 'you', like the slang "y'all" Sie in this context translates to 'they'
If you are speaking to a group of people, use "ihr" If you are speaking about a group of people, use "sie"
