Brave daughter having lost certain female relatives? (9)
I believe the answer is:
dauntless
'brave' is the definition.
('dauntless' can be a synonym of 'brave')
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dauntless that I've seen before include "Brave" , "Boldly determined" , "Invulnerable to fear" , "Bold" , "Resolute" .)
