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

'female?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'insanitary' is the wordplay.
'ANITA' is hidden within the letters.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anita that I've seen before include "girl produced" , "-- Brookner, English novelist" , "eg Dobson or Roddick" , "-- Loos, US writer" , "- Loos (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
