Amid a media storm, the lady made history (5)
I believe the answer is:
astor
'history' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'amid a media storm the lady' is the wordplay.
'amid' indicates a hidden word.
'ASTOR' is hidden in the letters of 'media storm lady'.
'made' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for astor that I've seen before include "Female politician" , "See 2" , "female parliamentarian" , "Nancy ---, first woman MP" , "Nancy --, one-time MP" .)
