Woman's right to a German address? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

herr

'a german address?' is the definition.
(German equivalent of 'mister')

'woman's right' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'her' (**).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'her'+'r'='HERR'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for herr that I've seen before include "Mister in German" , "Form of address for German male" , "Dieter respectfully addressed" , "A German gentleman" , "German form like Mr." .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
