	Germaine Greer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Germaine Greer (born January 29, 1939) is an Australian academic, writer, and broadcaster, who is widely regarded as one of the most significant feminist voices of the 20th century.
		Greer unsuccessfully opposed Padman's election to a fellowship, on the grounds that Padman had been born a man, and Newnham was a women's college.
		Greer's apparent approval of life styles and family values in the developing world — the world is over-populated, she argued, only by Western standards of comfortable living — and of poverty in preference to consumerism, led her to endorse practices frequently at odds with the beliefs of most Western feminists.

	CNN - Chat transcript: Germaine Greer on feminism and war - June 21, 1999
		Germaine Greer: I was born in Australia in 1939, which means that in 1999 I'm 60.
		Germaine Greer: Ethnic cleansing had to be opposed, but there are other ways of opposing behavior we disapprove of that do not involve smashing communities that were miles, hundreds of miles away from the conflict.
		Germaine Greer: It seems to me that young women learn pretty soon just how difficult their lives are going to be, whether it's in relationships with guys or in planning their life of work, or in even getting a fair deal from the people who teach them.

	BookRags: Germaine Greer Biography
		Germaine Greer was born on January 29, 1939, in Melbourne, Victoria, and was educated at the Star of the Sea Convent, Gardenvale.
		Greer's intellectual background was molded by the libertarian and anarchist ideas of the group in Sydney known as The Push, who drank, at that time, at the Royal George Hotel and who were influenced by the ideas of Sydney University professor of philosophy John Anderson.
		Greer's approval of Third World life styles, of traditional values and customs in preference to those of the West, and of poverty in preference to materialism led her, in Sex and Destiny, to endorse practices which are frequently in conflict with the beliefs of Western feminists.

	ifeminists.com > editorial > Encounters with Germaine Greer
		Germaine was a brilliant student at Sydney Uni, where she was writing a Master's thesis on Lord Byron, though her expertise stretched far beyond the romantic poets and male anatomy.
		Germaine had stripped to a sexy tank top, the male and female guests were trading insults as expected, and the invited audience of movement women was keeping up the heat by screaming at Susskind to take his hands of Germaine's bare shoulder.
		Greer: She found my resolution "preposterous." This was followed by a second telephone call from the desperate president, asking me please to try again, as the Union was close by an urgent journalistic deadline: the BBC, which had undertaken to co-host the debate with Firing Line, absolutely needed the actual resolution for the newspapers.

		Germaine Greer was not the only advocate of women’s liberation, but unlike other second-wave feminists Shulamith Firestone, Juliet Mitchell, Kate Millett, Betty Friedan and Valerie Solanas, she was the only one to become a household name.
		Germaine Greer argues staunchly that, whether writers or not, women should be recognised for their human status, rather than classified amongst angels or divinities.
		Germaine Greer relishes the role of maverick individualist, always challenging, always controversial, contradicting the establishment, including feminism itself in its establishment manifestation, and sometimes contesting her own earlier views.

		Miss Greer, who was (and judging from the pho—tograph on the jacket of her new book, still is) a very beautiful woman, was the last of the lady panelists to speak.
		For what Miss Greer was really up to on that occasion, what her dress, demeanor, and manner of speaking were clearly intended for, was not a discussion of the condition of women but, quite simply, the seduction of Norman Mailer.
		One of Germaine Greer’s declaratory purposes may have been to make women understand how much men really hate them, but the putative hatred of men for women can be as nothing compared with the sheer, relentless hatred of women expressed in and by that book.

		Greer, now 60, had been a rebellious if bright student who went on to become an intellectual celebrity who renounced the church, advocated rampant sexual freedom for women, trashed marriage and the family and fulminated against the imposition of Western values on indigenous peasant cultures throughout the world.
		Clearly, Germaine Greer is one of those individuals to whom the ordinary rules of good conduct don't apply; that is, she hasn't been held to them by the rest of us, so powerful is her charisma, so winning her good looks.
		Greer insists that she hasn't done an about-face on any of her earlier positions, and in a weird way, she's right.

		By Wallace's account (Greer refused to cooperate on the biography, maintaining that all such efforts should be left until after their subject's death), Greer was always a sexual liberationist first and a feminist second.
		Greer ought to have seen it coming, but her sense of herself as exempt from the ordinary limits on human existence was part of what made her a quintessential figure of the '60s and '70s.
		If Greer were a bit more honest and had a bit more perspective, she'd have a useful message to relay to young women about the perils of confusing sexual autonomy with the real but ephemeral ability to manipulate men.

	bookideas.com: The Whole Woman by Germaine Greer
		For Greer, almost everything about being a woman today is terrible, because she sees that all women are cruelly manipulated by the media and society's constructs to become "disabled" beings.
		Greer more or less baldly asserts that all fathers wish to molest their daughters: "it is a rare (non-abusing) father who can permit himself any degree of physical intimacy with a daughter." As the father of a daughter I'm amazed that she could get so much so wrong.
		Greer has taken a big stand against sexual equality and argues the point cogently: "equality is an utterly conservative aim.Equality is cruel to women because it requires them to duplicate behaviors that they find profoundly alien and disturbing.

		Germaine Greer was born in 1939 Melbourne Victoria.
		Germaine Greer arrived in Sydney in 1959 and became active in Push activities.
		Where Greer could see the process of incorporation of minorities within the system as a means of meliorism, bringing little lasting change, Wallace is already condemning this viewpoint in favour of the small offerings by bureaucratic reforms, of participating within the power games of the elites.

		Germaine Greer's call for women to live their own lives on their own terms - controversial as it was - struck a chord.
		Change was already afoot when Germaine Greer sat down to write The Female Eunuch but when it thudded onto the bookstands in 1970 it sounded a rallying cry heard right around the western world.
		To many women Germaine Greer was the Xena of her day, living life on her own terms and taking no prisoners - she says it's time to get angry again.

		Greer lays out the facts about the high failure rate and devastating side effects of in vitro fertilisation, and the incongruence between the "success" of breast implants in achieving the "perfect" mammary to please men and the continuing failures in detecting and treating increasingly prevalent breast cancer.
		Greer is angry, direct and forceful, reaffirming her ideas with often witty, sometimes disturbing and always effective and thought provoking facts, figures and quotations giving the work an added depth and dimension.
		Ms Greer has an approachable style that isn't laden with the usual academic jargon and that covers topics in an easily accessible manner ensuring you spend less time trying to understand what she is trying to say (like some feminist books) and more time thinking about the subject matter.

		Greer's motive for doing the show was to publicise her work.
		In his mind, this was to be a personal interview: he would quiz Greer on love, lust, The Female Eunuch, how men hate women, and on Greer's new book, The Boy, in which she admires the beauty of males who, she says, are not yet "beardly and singlety".

		At her best, Greer argues passionately for the mystic virtues of ecofeminism and stirringly calls for a return to the values of a simpler life, minus its egregious sexist assaults.
		Occasionally an aphorism sparkles with the old wit and biteA"One wife is all any man deserves"; "The power of Hillary Clinton's well-trained brain is principally demonstrated to the American public in her spirited defenses of her husband against the charges that he has cuckolded and humiliated her"Abut too often the effect is labored and strained.
		Greer has grievances aplenty with present-day society, but she offers few prescriptives for improvement besides demonstrations of support for embattled Iraqi and Palestinian women.

		But the discussion is lacklustre until Zolf jumps in, sneering at Greer's middle-class background and accusing her of ignoring ethnic and class differences among women.
		Greer is backed up by a member of the studio audience, who shouts at Zolf about his "(bleep)ed-up views." Later, Zolf attacks Greer for advising university girls to date truck drivers.

		Greer makes it quite clear that there is exactly one feminist left on the planet, and she is it.
		Greer clearly writes for shock value and what was shocking in the 70s is commonplace now, so instead she decides to go the anti-feminist route and pretend it's some kind of "new" feminism.
		For Greer, being a feminist necessitates an obsession with your reproductive organs, and the depths of vulgarity that a full "appreciation" of these organs for Greer requires, limitless vulgarity in thought and action.

		According to Greer, a far more important figure in the history of Western art is that of the young male.
		She goes on to examine the shift in social values that occurred in the 19th century that resulted in the elevation of the female nude, so that the boy became strangely invisible in art, not least because of confusions between art and pornography.
