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

This clue could be a double definition.

'woman will' is the first definition.
(contraction of 'she will')

'rid of case' is the second definition.
'shell' can be an answer for 'case' (synonyms). I'm unsure of the 'rid of' bit.

'get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shell that I've seen before include "Hard outer covering" , "Something used instead of money" , "magazine article" , "cover" , "attack with bombs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
