Aim to include independent lady (4)
I believe the answer is:
enid
'lady' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'aim to include independent' is the wordplay.
'aim' becomes 'end' (I've seen this before).
'to include' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'independent' becomes 'i'.
'end' enclosing 'i' is 'ENID'.
(Other definitions for enid that I've seen before include "'... Blyton, children's author (4)'" , "Miss Blyton" , "- Blyton, twentith century writer" , "Dine with this girl" , "Writer of children's books, d. 1968" .)
