Thinks woman has manuscript (5)

I believe the answer is:

deems

'thinks' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'woman has manuscript' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'dee' (woman's name).
'has' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'manuscript' becomes 'ms' (abbreviation for manuscript).
'dee'+'ms'='DEEMS'

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
