wotan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'germanic deity' is the definition.
'Wotan' can be an answer for 'deity' (Wotan is an example). I'm not certain of the 'germanic' bit.

'gave woman new heart' is the wordplay.
'gave woman' becomes 'wot' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'new' becomes 'newfangled' (synonyms).
'heart' indicates the central letters.
The central letters of 'newfangled' are 'an'.
'wot'+'an'='WOTAN'

'who' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wotan that I've seen before include "Teutonic god in the Ring Cycle" , "Supreme god" , "Wagnerian head god" , "Another name for Odin" , "Germanic god" .)
