Scolding woman — was her crazy article missing? (5)
I believe the answer is:
shrew
'scolding woman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'her crazy article missing?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'her' is 'hre' which is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'was' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shrew that I've seen before include "difficult woman" , "Scold, termagant" , "Virago" , "insect eater" , "Woman to be tamed?" .)
