I believe the answer is:

norma

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

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

'not quite normal' is the wordplay.
'not quite' means to remove the last letter.
'normal' with its last letter taken off is 'NORMA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for norma that I've seen before include "Bellini opera - girl's name" , "Roman (anag) - girl's name" , "Girl" , "Operatic lady round the manor" , "Girl's name - may be Roman" .)
