Literary works often deploy the word termagant to evoke a vivid image of a quarrelsome, domineering woman, one whose fiery temperament provides both a source of comic exaggeration and a pointed social critique. In one passage, a character’s inability to silence a “little termagant” underscores the trouble caused by such wild behavior [1], while another narrative leverages the term to describe a forceful, almost mythic female presence with sweeping, uncontainable energy [2]. The term is also used to characterize spouses who overwhelm their partners with their assertiveness, as when a husband grumbles about being married to a termagant [3][4]. In this way, termagant has endured in literature as a sharp, satirical label for women whose vociferous and spirited nature both invades conventional domestic roles and reflects broader cultural attitudes about outspoken femininity [5][6].
