Crossword Genius

Historical victim of prejudice, right? Lady suffered terribly (6,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alfred dreyfus

'historical victim of prejudice' is the definition.
(French soldier falsely accused of treason)

'right? lady suffered terribly' is the wordplay.
'right?' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'terribly' is an anagram indicator.
'r'+'lady'+'suffered'='rladysuffered'
'rladysuffered' is an anagram of 'ALFRED DREYFUS'.
