Food for many a woman (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manna

'food' is the definition.
(manna is a kind of food)

'many a woman' is the wordplay.
'many' becomes 'm'.
'a woman' becomes 'anna' ().
'm'+'anna'='MANNA'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for manna that I've seen before include "Food that God gave the Israelites" , "Heavenly grub?" , "Heavenly food" , "Food God gave to Moses" , "Old Testament food (from heaven?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
