Is a woman with offspring (5)

I believe the answer is:

issue

'offspring' is the definition.
(I know that offspring can be written as issue)

'is a woman' is the wordplay.
'a woman' becomes 'sue' (woman's name).
'is'+'sue'='ISSUE'

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "Outcome - discharge" , "litter" , "Debate topic; flow out" , "Publish - put into circulation" , "Result - children" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
