Woman's husband after change (5)
I believe the answer is:
edith
'woman's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'husband after change' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'change' becomes 'edit' (editing is a kind of changing).
'h' put after 'edit' is 'EDITH'.
(Other definitions for edith that I've seen before include "Osbert's sister" , "- Cavell, nurse executed in 1915" , "and 19 Across: 'Little Sparrow'" , "Dame ----- Evans (1888-1976), stage and screen actress" , "Dame - Sitwell, English poet (Facade)" .)
