It's cryptic woman's paper (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tissue

'paper' is the definition.
(tissue paper is a kind of paper)

'it's cryptic woman's' is the wordplay.
'cryptic' indicates anagramming the letters.
'woman' becomes 'sue' ().
'its' is an anagram of 'tis'.
'tis'+'sue'='TISSUE'

(Other definitions for tissue that I've seen before include "Cells sharing a function" , "Jewish religious leader" , "See 11" , "'Soft, thin paper (6)'" , "Cloth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
