Product 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 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.

Customer Reviews

Better than Prozac
I bought this book at a Mother's Day present to myself - well my rotten family wouldn't have! I couldn't stop laughing - everything was so true and well observed. Judith Holder is absolutely brilliant - I now know I'm not going mad - thankyou!

Far from Grumpy!
Took this book on holiday, people thought I was weird, laughing out aloud all the time. There are so many similarities to all the things that bug me, and when you realise you're not the only one they affect, it makes it all the funnier. Would definitely recommend for age 30's plus.

Brilliant!
Starting reading the book and just couldn't put it down! I took it to bed and was laughing out loud well into the early hours. (that pleased my husband when he was trying to sleep!)

I found myself agreeing with most of the observations and comments - and I thought I was the only one who felt like this!

Buy it for yourself - or for a friend who needs cheering up!
