Woman from Nevada (3)

I believe the answer is:

eva

'woman' is the definition.

'from nevada' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'EVA' is hidden in the letters of 'nevada'.

(Other definitions for eva that I've seen before include "Miss Peron, perhaps" , "-- Pern" , "Braun or Peron, say" , "girl appears" , "- - , nee Braun" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
