career woman

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

'the lady who's' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'occupation' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'occupation' could be 'career' (career is a kind of occupation) and 'career' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'woman' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.
