No current Talk conversations about this book. i don’t know how i should rate this, but it’s an intense experience of petty prejudice rooted in truth ( ) If you think feminism as a movement is irrelevant, read this book and get real. Ms. Greer feels "It's time to get angry again", and her thoughtful essays will inspire you to do just that. She will remind us that the point is not to be equal to men in this a world with values that men have defined, the point is to change the world to one where women are "free to define their own values, order their own priorities and decide their own fate". no reviews | add a review
Thirty years after the publication ofThe Female Eunuch, Germaine Greer is back with the sequel she vowed never to write. "A marvelous performance--. No feminist writer can match her for eloquence or energy; none makes [us] laugh the way she does."--The Washington Post In this thoroughly engaging new book, the fervent, rollicking, straight-shooting Greer, is, as ever, "the ultimate agent provocateur" (Mirabella). With passionate rhetoric, outrageous humor, and the authority of a lifetime of thought and observation, she trains a sharp eye on the issues women face at the turn of the century. From the workplace to the kitchen, from the supermarket to the bedroom, Greer exposes the innumerable forms of insidious discrimination and exploitation that continue to plague women around the globe. She mordantly attacks "lifestyle feminists" who blithely believe they can have it all, and argues for a fuller, more organic idea of womanhood. Whether it's liposuction or abortion, Barbie or Lady Diana, housework or sex work, Greer always has an opinion, and as one of the most brilliant, glamorous, and dynamic feminists of all time, her opinions matter. For anyone interested in the future of womanhood,The Whole Womanis a must-read. From the Trade Paperback edition. No library descriptions found. |
