One's first address (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maiden speech

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

'one's' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'first address' is the wordplay.
'first' becomes 'maiden' ('maiden' can be a synonym of 'first').
'address' becomes 'speech' ('speech' can be a synonym of 'address'**).
'maiden'+'speech'='MAIDEN SPEECH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for maiden speech that I've seen before include "Au fait with urban life" , "original house address" , "First ever public address" , "First words in parliament" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
