Though light, means a great effort for the woman concerned (7)

I believe the answer is:

feather

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

'though light means a great' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'effort for the woman concerned' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'effort' could be 'feat' (synonyms) and 'feat' is found within the answer.
'woman' could be 'her' (her refers to a woman) and 'her' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for feather that I've seen before include "Part of a bird's plumage" , "In your cap, this represents an achievement" , "Free hat (anag)" , "A white one denotes cowardice" , "The fear (anag) - type of bed" .)
