"Persuasion” heroine (4)
I believe the answer is:
anne
'persuasion heroine' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for anne that I've seen before include "She married Shakespeare" , "Queen, daughter of James II" , "Name of dead queen!" , "Queen 1702-1714" , "- Frank, World War Two diarist" .)
