oarswoman

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

'crew member' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'so upset with man-o'-war' is the wordplay.
'upset with' is an anagram indicator.
'man'+'o'+'war'='manowar'
'so' with its letters mixed up with 'manowar' makes 'OARSWOMAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oarswoman that I've seen before include "Rower" , "Girl having paddle" , "River user" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
