Who is Germaine Greer? / Facts
- Controversy - Her ideas have created controversy ever since her first book, The Female Eunuch (1970), which became an international best-seller and made her a household name
- In it Greer offered a systematic deconstruction of ideas such as womanhood and femininity, arguing that women are forced to assume submissive roles in society to fulfill male fantasies of what being a woman entails
- Her work since then has focused on literature, feminism and the environment
- Later books include Sex and Destiny: The Politics of Human Fertility (1984), The Change: Women, Ageing and the Menopause (1991), The Whole Woman (1999), Shakespeare's Wife (2007) and White Beech: The Rainforest Years (2013)
- She owns and finances Stump Cross Books, which publishes the work of 17th- and 18th-century women poets
- Greer is a liberation rather than equality feminist
- Her goal is not equality with men, which she sees as assimilation and "agreeing to live the lives of unfree men"
- "Women's liberation," she wrote in The Whole Woman, "did not see the female's potential in terms of the male's actual". She argues instead that liberation is about asserting difference and "insisting on it as a condition of self-definition and self-determination"
- It is a struggle for the freedom of women to "define their own values, order their own priorities and decide their own fate
