![]() ![]() Germaine Greer lives in Great Chesterford, Essex, England. ![]() She took up the cause again because 'the fire flared up in her belly' when the feminists of her generation said that feminism had gone too far and the 'lifestyle feminists' (whoever they may be) said that it had gone far enough. Germaine Greer’s work includes: The Obstacle Race, Sex and Destiny, The Madwoman’s Underclothes, The Change, The Whole Woman, Shakespeare’s Wife, The Boy, On Rage, and On Rape. The Whole Woman is the self-proclaimed sequel to 1971's The Female Eunuch, a sequel she had said she would never write. “The struggle that is not joyous is the wrong struggle.” “Her discourse of bodies, sex, relationships, menstruation, marriage, and consumerism refused to hedge or hide-to pretend that women don’t bleed, fuck and suck-pulled down barriers between what was being done and what was being said.” “It takes a great deal of courage and independence to design your own image instead of one that society rewards, but it is easier as you go along.” Greer’s ideas have created controversy ever since her first book The Female Eunuch in 1970 made her a household name. One of the foremost public intellectuals of modern times, Germaine Greer was born in 1939 in Melbourne, Australia. ![]()
