Thanks. I dont understand the comments. It is the correct word for a female sewer.

See 20a in this week’s Listener.

math pro

i dont see the Listener - what is the clue please?

Here is the clue from the Listener (I recall seeing this a few times)...

Bad-tempered person to go on eschewing public relations (6)

Also a ‘poetess’ in the Guardian today...

Greek poetess with an aversion to fools erasing name on biro? (6)

the guardian one would have been very much harder as "poet", though!

Thanks for the clues which I like.

I agree but it would have been inaccurate

Grunger, in that case here’s another from today’s Everyman you may like. I thought it was rather good.

'Sorceress': who knows how many 's's? (7)

sorry I cant solve it
