Iron front and back of shirt holding baby, objecting to it? (8)
I believe the answer is:
feminist
'baby objecting to it?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'iron front and back of shirt' is the wordplay.
'iron' becomes 'Fe' (chemical symbol for iron).
'front and back of' becomes 'minis' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'shirt' becomes 't' (as in a T-shirt).
'fe'+'minis'+'t'='FEMINIST'
'holding' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for feminist that I've seen before include "Female supporter" , "Advocate of women's rights" , "I'm finest as activist in women's lib movement" , "I'm finest (anag.)" , "I'm finest with supporter of women's lib" .)
