Predicament for woman after flipping lid (7)
I believe the answer is:
dilemma
'predicament' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'woman after flipping lid' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'emma' ().
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'flipping' says the letters should be written backwards.
'lid' in reverse letter order is 'dil'.
'emma' after 'dil' is 'DILEMMA'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for dilemma that I've seen before include "tricky position" , "Predicament" , "Difficult decision" , "Difficult situation - may have horns" , "Difficulty (with two choices?)" .)
