The clarion call to change that galvanized a generation.
When Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch was first published it created a shock wave of recognition in women, one that could be felt around the world. It went on to become an international bestseller, translated into more than twelve languages, and a landmark in the history of the women's movement. Positing that sexual liberation is the key to women's liberation, Greer looks at the inherent and unalterable biological differences between men and women as well as at the profound psychological differences that result from social conditioning. Drawing on history, literature, biology, and popular culture, Greer's searing examination of women's oppression is a vital, passionately argued social commentary that is both an important historical record of where we've been and a shockingly relevant treatise on what still remains to be achieved.

Greer大概是最激进的女权主义者之一(有些女权主义者都觉得她在某些地方走的太远了)。你可以不同意她的所有观点,但是不得不被她的毒辣和尖酸折服。任何一个领域都需要那么一些push envelop的人,Greer挑战一切被默认为自成真理的概念和允许这些伪真理存在的男权至上的世界。这本书中我最欣赏她对爱(love)的解读。她嘲笑那些伪浪漫文学的犀利堪称书评中的经典。归根究底,她的主要思想和所有女权的核...
