Shrew: A woman with a violent, scolding, or nagging temperament; a scold.
And then I found out that it is also this heinously ugly mouse.
A woman being compared to a household pest? A little condescending me thinks.

The Taming of the Shrew
First of all, I had to look up in a dictionary what a shrew is. Somehow I just never really new the exact meaning of the word.

Thanks for clearing up what a shrew is:) I was looking at the theme's for "Taming of the Shrew," and it seems like there's an interesting trend in Katherina's final speech. In the last 80 years the presentation seems to have evolved from showing submission, to being sarcastic or her just saying they are right for each other. Is that what you've found by chance???
