Article about Sally Ann appearing in May? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theresa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'may?' is the definition.
(Theresa May, former UK prime minister)

'article about sally ann' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article).
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'sally ann' becomes 'sa' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'the'+'re'+'sa'='THERESA'

'appearing in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for theresa that I've seen before include "Maria ___ , Archduchess of Austria, d. 1780" , "Maria --, Austrian ruler" , "-- May, MP" , "Maria -, eighteenth century empress" , "Maria -, Austr. empress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
