It’s about a woman, and that’s official (5)
I believe the answer is:
reeve
'that's official' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'it's about a woman' is the wordplay.
'it's about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'a woman' becomes 'eve' (Eve is an example**).
're'+'eve'='REEVE'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for reeve that I've seen before include "Pass the end of a rope through the bailiff" , "sort of ruff" , "Medieval official - pass rope through an eye" , "Former magistrate" , "[PILGRIM in the CANTERBURY TALES]" .)
