Musical style of women in second century (6)
I believe the answer is:
motown
'musical style' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'women in second century' is the wordplay.
'women' becomes 'w' (standard abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'second' becomes 'mo' (both are short periods of time).
'century' becomes 'ton' (both can mean one hundred of something).
'mo'+'ton'='moton'
'w' placed inside 'moton' is 'MOTOWN'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for motown that I've seen before include "Detroit's musical export" , "Detroit and American record company" , "Tom won (anag) - music" , "Genre of music originally from Detroit" , "Tamla -, US soul music record label" .)
