Figure accepting advertising for woman (6)
I believe the answer is:
nadine
'woman' is the definition.
'figure accepting advertising' is the wordplay.
'figure' becomes 'nine' (I've seen this in other clues).
'accepting' indicates putting letters inside.
'advertising' becomes 'ad' ('ad' can be a synonym of 'advertising').
'nine' placed around 'ad' is 'NADINE'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for nadine that I've seen before include "South African writer" , "Woman" , "French girl" , "Girl's name; Dianne (anag.)" .)
