Bad-tempered woman (6)
I believe the answer is:
virago
'bad-tempered woman' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for virago that I've seen before include "Loudly fierce or abusive woman" , "A tough abusive woman" , "Shrew, harpy" , "Manlike woman?" , "[MAENAD]" .)
