From Longman Dictionary

shrew /ʃruː/ noun [countable]

a very small animal like a mouse with a long pointed nose

old-fashioned an unpleasant woman who always argues and disagrees with people

Example

Matilda has the reputation of being a shrew – do you think she will stay tamely in Anjou

Her hat was an aggressively red felt and she peered out from under its big brim like a shrew ready to attack

They placed a shrew into a social confrontation with another shrew

I became attuned to the high-toned squeaking of shrews, which appeared to be engaged in conflict

You have to listen and to know, to hear the shrews at all
