Brave enough to give the woman nothing, I see (6)

I believe the answer is:

heroic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'brave enough' is the definition.
'heroic' can be an answer for 'brave' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not sure about the 'enough' bit.

'the woman nothing i see' is the wordplay.
'the woman' becomes 'her' ('her' refers to a woman).
'nothing' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'see' becomes 'C' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'her'+'o'+'i'+'c'='HEROIC'

'to give' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heroic that I've seen before include "Extravagant" , "Fearless, valiant" , "Epic" , "Of deed or person, very brave" , "Like a brave man" .)
