Female head of the family (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

matriarch

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">female head of the family</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for matriarch that I've seen before include "Leading lady" , "Woman dominating" , "Female head of a family or tribe" , "Dominant female" , "venerable old lady" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
