Added. Rather, “kept being added.” Conversions occurred almost daily.

To the Lord. Grammatically, in the Greek, these words can be attached to “kept being added,” or to “believers,” giving “believers in the Lord.”

Men and women. The specific mention of women suggests that there were large numbers of them coming into the church. For the prominence of women in Luke’s narratives see on Luke 8:2. Luke also mentions women as suffering under the persecution that arose after the death of Stephen (Acts 8:3).
