Left in preserves, feminine nature reveals a member of the tribe (10)

'a member of the tribe' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'left in preserves feminine nature' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'L' (common abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'preserves' becomes 'cans' (canning is a kind of preserving).
'feminine nature' becomes 'woman' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'l' placed inside 'cans' is 'clans'.
'clans'+'woman'='CLANSWOMAN'

'reveals' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
