Gosh - a woman with character! (In Shakespeare) (8)

I believe the answer is:

cordelia

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

'character in shakespeare' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'gosh a woman' is the wordplay.
'gosh' becomes 'cor' (I've seen this in other clues).
'a woman' becomes 'delia' ().
'cor'+'delia'='CORDELIA'

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cordelia that I've seen before include "Daughter of King Lear" , "One of King Lear's daughters" , "part of 1 25 [KING LEAR] ?" , "girl" , "loving daughter" .)
