The Rubber Woman? (8)
I believe the answer is:
masseuse
This clue might be a double definition.
'the rubber' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'woman?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for masseuse that I've seen before include "Uses same sort of woman who kneads muscles to lessen stiffness" , "Uses seam (anag)" , "Woman who manipulates" , "She kneads bodies" , "Female rubber?" .)
