Would it maybe be "Las mujeres no las gustan."? It really depends on what you're trying to say.

Sorry, but this sentence means nothing. You could say:
A las mujeres no
les gusta X
Here you can see a compulsory pronoun with an IO value. You can't say "a las mujeres no gusta"*. Pronoun la/las is used as DO.
Maybe you could say:
Las mujeres no le gustan a alguien.
You have to know what is the subject, what is the DO and what is the IO. Verb and subject have concordance in number. Let me give you a very simple syntactic analysis of the first sentence:
X: subject (X is not an DO, you could say: A las mujeres no les gusta
n X and Y)
(no) gusta: verb
a las mujeres - les: indirect object
And now another one about the second sentence:
Las mujeres: subject
(no) gustan: verb, look at the concordance subject - verb
le - a alguien: IO
Sometimes it's difficult in Spanish to difference between ID and DO with the pronouns. The possibility of duplication is a clue to distinguish this IO.
