Hooligan facing test, all about being female, not ladylike (6)
I believe the answer is:
tomboy
'female not ladylike' is the definition.
(term for a boyish girl or woman)
'hooligan facing test all about' is the wordplay.
'hooligan' becomes 'yob' (synonyms).
'facing' says to put letters next to each other.
'test' becomes 'mot' (as in an MOT test for a vehicle).
'all about' is a reversal indicator.
'yob'+'mot'='yobmot'
'yobmot' backwards is 'TOMBOY'.
'being' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for tomboy that I've seen before include "Girl said to be exhibiting boyish behaviour" , "tough girl" , "Girl with the character of a lad" , "Girl who likes rough and noisy activities" , "Girl who enjoys being laddish" .)
