Crossword Genius

Second page about woman's stint (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skimp

'stint' is the definition.
(I know that stint can be written as skimp)

'second page about woman's' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'page' becomes 'p'.
'about' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'woman' becomes 'kim' ().
'p' after 'kim' is 'kimp'.
's'+'kimp'='SKIMP'

(Other definitions for skimp that I've seen before include "Spend not enough time and care on (job)" , "Be mean with, scamp" , "Subsist on very little" , "Be parsimonious, stint" , "Cut back on resources" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
