According to her, my right leg is short! (6)
I believe the answer is:
myrtle
'according to her' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'my right leg is short' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable).
'is short' means to remove the last letter.
'leg' with its final letter taken away is 'le'.
'my'+'rt'+'le'='MYRTLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for myrtle that I've seen before include "Try Mel for the flowering shrub" , "Plant with aromatic blue-black berries" , "Termly (anag.)" , "Eugenia perhaps" , "Evergreen shrub with pink or white flowers and dark berries" .)
