lucretia

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

'legendary victim' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'it a cruel anagram' is the wordplay.
'anagram' indicates an anagram.
'it'+'a'+'cruel'='itacruel'
'itacruel' anagrammed gives 'LUCRETIA'.

'making' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lucretia that I've seen before include "raped girl" , "rape victim" , "The Rape of - (Benjamin Britten)" , "Woman in Roman legend" .)
