Crossword Genius

She comes from a strange land around the fourth of July (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lynda

'she' is the definition.

'a strange land around the fourth of july' is the wordplay.
'a strange' indicates an anagram.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'the fourth of july' becomes 'y' (4th letter of 'july').
'land' is an anagram of 'lnda'.
'lnda' going around 'y' is 'LYNDA'.

'comes from' acts as a link.

(Another definition for lynda that I've seen is " This girl".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
