Answer:

A synonym for the word "termagant" is the word  "shrew".

Explanation:

The explanation for this is that, according to the dictionary, the word "shrew" is referring to a woman in a bad mood or evil.

With a similar meaning to the word "shrew," the word "Termagant" was the name given to an imaginary god made in Christendom to be worshiped by the Muslims, represented in the mysterious pieces as a violent and domineering character. The word is also used in modern English to mean a violent woman, arrogant, turbulent, brackish and quarrelsome; a virago, shrew, vixen. In the past, the word could be applied to any person or thing personified, not just a woman.

To quote dictionary.com, "shrew<span>. Use the noun </span>shrew<span> — at your own risk — to refer to a woman who is argumentative, nagging, and ill tempered." 

Termagant's definition is "</span><span>a harsh-tempered or overbearing woman."</span>

Well, we don't have the article, but, if my understanding is correct, before the nineteenth amendment was passed, women didn't have any voting rights at all.
