Why can't I insert or delete the inside element of set<set<string>>?

Hi, I was using the STL set as follows and what I want to do here is to
change mySet from {{"Hi", "Hello world to"}, {"A", "B"}} to {{"Hello
world to"},{"A","B"}}, but it fails to compile. Why? And how can I
manage to achieve my goal?Thanks.

====================================================================================
#include <iostream>
#include <set>
#include <string>
using std::set;
using std::string;

void func()
{
       set< set<string> > mySet;
       ....// Initializing mySet, and it is like {{"Hi", "Hello world
to"}, {"A", "B"}}
       set< set<string> >::iterator iter = mySet.begin();
       iter->erase("Hi"); //There is a complile error here
}

int main()
{
     //.......
     return 1;
}

The compiler complains about:
passing `const std::set<std::string,
    std::less<std::string>, std::allocator<std::string> >' as `this'
argument of
    `std::pair<typename std::_Rb_tree<_Key, _Key, std::_Identity<_Key>,
    _Compare, _Alloc>::const_iterator, bool> std::set<_Key, _Compare,
    _Alloc>::insert(const _Key&) [with _Key = std::string, _Compare =
    std::less<std::string>, _Alloc = std::allocator<std::string>]'
discards
    qualifiers
