A young woman of upper-class background who is presented to society (9)

I believe the answer is:

debutante

(Other definitions for debutante that I've seen before include "Maiden speaker" , "One entering society for the first time" , "Young woman entering society" , "eligible young lady?" , "young lady coming out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
