What does "a Karen" mean?

Just read an article in a newspaper regarding a court case where the judge took exception to somebody describing a woman as "a Karen" - obviously her name wasn't Karen.

This must be a thing but never heard it before. What does it mean?

The kind of woman screams at you for walking on the wrong side walk.

A woman who doesnt like your dog so pretends to be bitten by it.

Those who protest passionately but dont understand what exactly thier protesting.
