She takes the ring road, wrongly (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theodora

'she' is the definition.

'the ring road wrongly' is the wordplay.
'ring' becomes 'O' (letter resembling a ring).
'wrongly' indicates an anagram.
'road' is an anagram of 'dora'.
'the'+'o'+'dora'='THEODORA'

'takes' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for theodora that I've seen before include "Lady" , "gift from God" , "Byzantine empress" , "Oratorio by Handel" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
