Wise female, source regarding various authors, primarily (7)
I believe the answer is:
minerva
'wise female' is the definition.
'minerva' can be an answer for 'female' (I have seen 'Divine female' mean 'minerva' so perhaps 'female' could also mean 'minerva'). I'm unsure of the 'wise' bit.
'source regarding various authors primarily' is the wordplay.
'source' becomes 'mine' (a mine is a source of something).
'primarily' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'regarding various authors' is 'rva'.
'mine'+'rva'='MINERVA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for minerva that I've seen before include "Divine female" , "embodiment of wisdom" , "female of great wisdom" , "Roman goddess of crafts and wisdom - a vermin (anag)" , "deity of wisdom" .)
