Woman in jumble-sale? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elsa

'woman' is the definition.

'jumble-sale?' is the wordplay.
'jumble' indicates an anagram.
'sale' anagrammed gives 'ELSA'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for elsa that I've seen before include "Famous lioness" , "Lioness (born free in Kenya)" , "Girl" , "___ Schiaparelli, Italian-born French fashion designer d. 1973" , "Big cat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
