Woman's fury extremely negative (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

irene

'woman's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fury extremely negative' is the wordplay.
'fury' becomes 'ire' (I've seen this before).
'extremely' suggests removing the centre.
'negative' with its centre removed is 'ne'.
'ire'+'ne'='IRENE'

(Other definitions for irene that I've seen before include "In Greek mythology, the goddess of peace" , "- - Worth, actress" , "One can find a girl in Ree" , "Peaceful girl" , "Representative of peace" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
