I believe the answer is:

astor

(Other definitions for astor that I've seen before include "Nancy ---, first woman MP" , "First female MP" , "female parliamentarian" , "Nancy --, one-time MP" , "First woman to sit in the House of Commons, d. 1964" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Newsday.com and The New York Times.
