| Abstract: | The study discusses midlife women's irritation and resistance in waged work. The focus is on instances in which women are regarded cranky and difficult when they age. The gendering practices of three organizations are analyzed in detail. The study asks what irritates midlife women and suggests that gendering practices in the organizations can be seen to produce that which is perceived as 'cranky old women'. |
