Dutch wanting female to lead country (6)
I believe the answer is:
missus
'dutch' is the definition.
(dutch can informally mean a wife)
'female to lead country' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'miss' (miss refers to a young woman).
'to lead' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'country' becomes 'us' (U.S. is an example).
'miss'+'us'='MISSUS'
'wanting' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for missus that I've seen before include "Wife (informal)" , "Wife (colloquial)" , "The old lady" , "Dutch American" , "As partner" .)
