'refusing to compromise' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'irene can't sign anyway' is the wordplay.
'anyway' indicates anagramming the letters.
'irene'+'cant'+'sign'='irenecantsign'
'irenecantsign' anagrammed gives 'INTRANSIGENCE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intransigence that I've seen before include "Refusal to compromise or discuss" , "Refusal to budge" , "Stubbornness" , "pigheadedness" , "Unwillingness to agree" .)
