A woman from America in a foreign country (6)

I believe the answer is:

abroad

'in a foreign country' is the definition.
('abroad' can be a synonym of 'in a foreign country')

'a woman from america' is the wordplay.
'woman from america' becomes 'broad'.
'a'+'broad'='ABROAD'

(Other definitions for abroad that I've seen before include "Europe, for example" , "Overseas; (of rumour) widely current" , "Away from home" , "on the Continent" , "in the field" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
