Book description
We all know what it means these days to be a grumpy old man, because
part of that role is to be outspoken. Well, we've heard just about
enough out of the men, thank you very much! Grumpy Old Women
gives us the other perspective: the female take on the million
irritations of today's world.
So whats the difference? Surely what is irritating to the mature
members of one sex is equally annoying to the other? Not necessarily,
and this is precisely what Grumpy Old Women seeks to address.
Body image, visitors, children, animals, shopping, careers, parties,
holidays and, yes, grumpy old men themselves all are very much on the
list of what today's mature woman finds a source of concern.
From the series producer and stand-up comic Judith Holder, the book
incorporates material from the television series Grumpy Old
Women, which features a diverse, colourful and very grumpy group
of celebrities, including Janet Street Porter, Jenny Eclair, Ann
Widdecombe, Germaine Greer, Kathryn Flett and Jilly Cooper. Written
with wit, style and sympathy, the book is a source of both amusement
and comfort to women everywhere - grumpy, old or otherwise.
