Woman shifting soil (4)

I believe the answer is:

lois

'woman' is the definition.

'shifting soil' is the wordplay.
'shifting' is an anagram indicator.
'soil' is an anagram of 'LOIS'.

(Other definitions for lois that I've seen before include "-- Lane, 'Superman' character" , "- Lane, girlfriend of Superman" , "Superman's girlfriend" , "- Lane (Superman's girl)" , "- Lane, Daily Planet reporter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
