Country or kingdom raised women on island (6)
I believe the answer is:
kuwait
'country' is the definition.
(Kuwait is an example)
'kingdom raised women on island' is the wordplay.
'kingdom' becomes 'uk' (UK is an example).
'raised' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'women' becomes 'w'.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'island' becomes 'ait' (I've seen this before).
'uk' written backwards gives 'ku'.
'ku'+'w'+'ait'='KUWAIT'
'or' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for kuwait that I've seen before include "monarchy" , "in Middle East" , "nation" , "Arab kingdom on the Gulf" , "Country invaded by Iraq" .)
