Jane Austen novel that inspired "Clueless" (4)
I believe the answer is:
emma
'jane austen novel that inspired clueless' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for emma that I've seen before include "Retired chief in Ian Fleming" , "Mrs Bovary" , "Name of Nelson's Lady Hamilton" , "Novel by June Austen" , "Female" .)
