Call up the first woman to accept agreement (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evoke

'call up' is the definition.
('evoke' can be a synonym of 'call up')

'the first woman to accept agreement' is the wordplay.
'the first woman' becomes 'eve' (I've seen this before**).
'to accept' indicates putting letters inside.
'agreement' becomes 'ok' (I've seen this in other clues).
'eve' going around 'ok' is 'EVOKE'.

(Other definitions for evoke that I've seen before include "Raise" , "Bring (a thing) to mind" , "Elicit (a response)" , "Conjure up" , "Call forth (a response)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
