Shes awfully hurt (4)

I believe the answer is:

ruth

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shes' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'awfully hurt' is the wordplay.
'awfully' indicates an anagram.
'hurt' anagrammed gives 'RUTH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ruth that I've seen before include "Biblical woman" , "distress once?" , "Pity - grief - Old Testament book" , "Old word for pity, or Bible book" , "Babe -, US baseball player" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
