I believe the answer is:

lena

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

'she's' is the definition.

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Another definition for lena that I've seen is " River of Siberia (4400 km), the world's ninth longest".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
