Whole Woman

Product Description

Thirty years since the publication of The Female Eunuch" Germaine Greer returns to the subject of feminism
- with the book she always vowed she would never write. Germaine Greer proclaims that the time has come to get angry again! Modern feminism has become the victim of unenlightened complacency & what started out in the Sixties as a movement for liberation has become one that has sought & settled for equality. With fiery rhetoric authoritative insight outrageous humour & broad-ranging debate Greer shows that although women have indeed come a very long way in the last thirty years the notion of our having it all has disguised the persistent discrimination & exploitation that continues to exist for women in the basic areas of health sex politics economics & marketing. Erudite eccentric provocative & invigorating Germaine Greer once again sets the agenda for the future of feminism. Here is all the polemical power that sold over a million copies of " The Female Eunuch" & kept its author at the heart of controversy ever since. " The Whole Woman" was a No. 1 " Sunday Times" bestseller for five weeks when it was first published in 1999 & was hailed by the critics as a polemical bomb (" Guardian") & as required reading for thinking adults everywhere. This work is for anyone interested in feminism & gender politics as well as readers curious about Greer herself."
