Comments on the clue
1.Very forced surface
2.Ingenious but "female" is rather a vague definition.
3.Good spot
4.Very nice.
5.Impeccable surface. Minor quibble: is 'female' by itself sufficient for defn? But happy to accept it given the quality of the clue overall.
6.Top clue for me. Must have taken some research or v good GK to make the connections.
