old battle-axe
A strong-willed, argumentative woman, typically older in age, who is considered overbearing or domineering. My grandmother was always the matriarch of the entire family, an old battle-axe who answered to no one but God. I gained a reputation of being an old-battle axe in the office because of how outspoken and unbending I am about certain issues.
