mother teresa

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

'good woman' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'additional sex appeal around the local station?' is the wordplay.
'additional' becomes 'more' (synonyms).
'sex appeal' becomes 'SA' (old-fashioned abbreviation).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'local station?' becomes 'rte' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'more'+'sa'='moresa'
'the'+'rte'='therte'
'moresa' placed around 'therte' is 'MOTHER TERESA'.

'providing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
