"Working Girl” woman (4)

I believe the answer is:

tess

(Other definitions for tess that I've seen before include "Thomas Hardy heroine" , "Hardy female" , "Hardy's pure woman" , "Hardy's Durbeyfield heroine" , "'Justice' finally done on her (Hardy)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
