About Germaine Greer

She is best known for her controversial 1970 novel The Female Eunuch, which she wrote about feminist issues. The Whole Woman (1999), The Politics of Human Fertility (1984), and Shakespeare's Wife are among her many other writings (2007).

Germaine Greer is an Australian writer and public intellectual, considered one of the leading voices of the radical feminist movement of the second half of the 20th century. Specializing in English and Women's Literature, she has held academic posts in the United Kingdom at the University of Warwick and Newnham College, Cambridge and in the United States at the University of Tulsa. Based in the UK since 1964, she has divided her time in the 1990s between Queensland, Australia and her home in Essex, England. Greer's ideas have sparked controversy since her first book, The Female Eunuch, made her a household name. As an international bestseller and turning point in the feminist movement, it offers a systematic reconstruction of ideas such as women's rights and feminism, claiming that women force to take on submissive roles in society to fulfill fantasies. men about what a woman is. Greer's next work focuses on literature, feminism, and the environment.
