Female with pride - sole sin, perhaps (7)
I believe the answer is:
lioness
'female with pride' is the definition.
(as in a pride of lions)
'sole sin perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'sole'+'sin'='solesin'
'solesin' is an anagram of 'LIONESS'.
(Other definitions for lioness that I've seen before include "Big beast's mate" , "Beast" , "Wild animal" , "Elsa, for one" , "One with pride" .)
