Admired woman taking two drugs (7)
I believe the answer is:
heroine
'admired woman' is the definition.
'two drugs' is the wordplay.
'two drugs' means two substitutions for 'drug'.
'drug' becomes 'heroin'.
'drug' becomes 'e' (E is another name for ecstasy).
'heroin'+'e'='HEROINE'
'taking' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for heroine that I've seen before include "Brave female" , "Emma, for example" , "Lead female character" , "Woman of courageous achievements" , "Eg, Emma, Jane Eyre" .)
