Book Overview

"Like a woman, this book gets better with age. Greer's punchy prose and all-too-true observations motivate you to go out and do something to liberate yourself-and other women." -- Leora Tanenbaum, author of Slut! Growing Up Female with a Bad ReputationA ground-breaking, worldwide bestselling study of women's oppression that is at once an important social commentary, a passionately argued masterpiece of polemic, and a feminist classic.The publication of Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch in 1970 was a landmark event, raising eyebrows and ire while creating a shock wave of recognition in women around the world with its steadfast assertion that sexual liberation is the key to women's liberation. Today, Greer's searing examination of the oppression of women in contemporary society is both an important historical record of where we've been and a shockingly relevant treatise on what still remains to be achieved.

reviews around Sep 6 2006

Reviews around this date should be ignored. Germaine said some stupid things about the death of Steve Irwin -Crocodile Hunter- and that has obiviously upset some people. I don't agree with Germaines comments - or much that she was written or said lately- but that doesn't stop this book from being an outstanding book of the 20th Century.

Shut your legs and your mouth!

The hypocrisy of society is simply amazing! Despite claiming that women "have come a long way, baby," reality is they've barely touched the surface of the obnoxious existence they are expected to live with and "enjoy." Denied nearly every form of expression - from sexual to verbal - except for the occasional free-form of theatrical display, dance, and very measured boundaries of intellectual inquiry, they remain the Gender...

Greer has style

I read Greer's The Whole Woman, her most recent endeavor, before reading The Female Eunuch--suddenly I understood why the reviews of the Whole Woman were so tepid-to-awful. I liked it, but reading Eunuch I realized that this woman had incredible style and swagger, but that she had written a much more delicious and fearless book back in 1970. In the intervening years, so much has changed for women (because of feminism) that...

shocking

I began reading "The Female Eunuch" after I had read Natalies Angiers "Woman : An Intimate Geography". It caused a sensation in its time and is still capable of shocking. Ms Angiers may have borrowed from The "Female Eunuch" because she also divides her books in to chapters with simple headings like the "body" and "work" and this gives both books clarity and focus. Where they differ is that Ms Greer,s is on shakier ground...
