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 enough about 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 what's 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 will also incorporate material from the new 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 sure to be a source of both amusement and comfort to women everywhere - grumpy, old or otherwise.… (altro)

Preferred the tv series to the book - I am certainly a grumpy old woman

I just didnt find this book funny at all, just dull. ( )

This book confirmed that I am a grumpy old woman! Very funny but probably best read in small bursts! ( )

Opening Sentence: "...Grumpy Old Women are a lot older than they were, they're a little fed up - quite a lot fed up, actually -and this book is dedicated to this hitherto silent majority of women of a certain age who find the whole business of being a grown-up infinitely harder than they imagined..."

Judith Holder looks at life for women of a certain age - our thoughts on body image, Christmas, travel, children, careers and grumpy old men; just to name a few areas covered in this very funny book. Trouble is - under the humour lies a lot of truth and I found myself nodding my head so often in agreement. Reading this book made me realise that I am not alone in being unable to open any bottles with a child-proof cap, and thinking that shop assistants are so much ruder now than they use to be, and children so much more misbehaved than they use to be.

There is a BBC TV series too - though not sure which came first the show or the book. ( )

What makes these women seethe? Age, fashion, children, shopping, christmas to name but a few issues. Written in a very humourous style and with tonnes of verve. I was in kinks laughing at it on a regular basis. ( )
