oarswoman

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

'she rows a boat' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'oman skirting terrible wars by shore of ocean' is the wordplay.
'skirting' is an insertion indicator.
'terrible' indicates anagramming the letters.
'by shore of ocean' becomes 'o' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'wars' anagrammed gives 'arsw'.
'arsw'+'o'='arswo'
'oman' placed around 'arswo' is 'OARSWOMAN'.

'from' acts as a link.
