Woman I married shows spirit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anima

'spirit' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'woman i married shows' is the wordplay.
'shows' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ANIMA' can be found hidden inside 'woman i married'.

(Other definitions for anima that I've seen before include "Showing true inner self" , "Subconscious part of the psyche" , "Female part of the psyche" , "female aspect of personality" , "Witty remark" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
