From un- +‎ ladylike.

Adjective

unladylike (comparative more unladylike, superlative most unladylike)

  1. Not ladylike; ill-mannered.
    • 1946, Clifford Rose Adams, Vance O. Packard, How to Pick a Mate‎[1]:
      Women enjoy being pursued, but men still don’t! They don’t want anything that seems too easy to win. If the woman takes the initiative—at least if she takes it conspicuously—the world will think her aggressive, and unladylike.
