Crossword Genius

The woman's a goddess (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hera

'goddess' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'the woman's a' is the wordplay.
'the woman' becomes 'her' (**).
'her'+'a'='HERA'

(Other definitions for hera that I've seen before include "Regularly-deceived wife" , "Divine consort" , "Greek equivalent of Juno" , "Queen whose Roman counterpart was Juno" , "marriage goddess" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Independent.
