Cried for Yankee women's magazine opening debate? (6)
I believe the answer is:
yelled
'cried' is the definition.
('yell' can be a synonym of 'cry')
'yankee women's magazine opening debate?' is the wordplay.
'yankee women' becomes 'y' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'magazine' becomes 'elle' (I've seen this in other clues).
'opening' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'debate' is 'd'.
'y'+'elle'+'d'='YELLED'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yelled that I've seen before include "made a lot of noise" , "Uttered a sudden loud cry" , "Uttered a sharp loud cry" , "Cried out, hollered" , "Shouted loudly as if to be heard" .)
