Representaion In Favor Of Books The Female Eunuch

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.

Commentary Based On Books The Female Eunuch

Brilliant. This book should be required reading for everyone, not just women.

I picked up this book not only because of it's historical significance but because a friend mad a blog post about it while having not read it basically saying Greer was an self-important idiot and I really hate ignorance.Reading this book as a feminist in 2010 there are things about it I don't agree with. I definetley have problems with the blatant transphobia which is a theme through Greer's writings, and she has a rather patchy idea about homosexuality. Some of the things she talks abuot are

...very compelling arguments on feminism, and a strong case the 'rational' of subjugation women.I would recommend this book to every woman, but importantly, to men.

It's validating, this book, from the first sentence. Talk of women breaking through the glass ceiling only to settle. Fighting for equality only to go to college to STILL shop for husbands. Great book. Sad nothing's advanced since.

I adore men, I love my cigarettes and scotch, take pleasure in my womanly curves; simultaneously I greatly want women to obtain their freedom of rights. Feminism may be an archaic phenomenon in the urban world yet it is still in the nascent form in numerous authoritarian patriarchal configurations and societies plagued with female foeticide. This manuscript does justice to such dwellings where women irrespective to their economical standing bear subjugation to various norms of religion and

Thank Goodness, I'm finished. Such a hard book to review, though. Why? Because there are parts, that are:1. Genial2. Interesting3. OK4. Wierd5. Silly 6. Terrible7. BoringI'll give just a few examples, because I yearn to move on and read something good. 5. Silly - Greer states, that mother-child bond is one of the things responsible for most of the evil in the world. Also, she advises women to revolt by doing their housework "happily" and not as a chore. And, also, in the very end, Greer says

I apologize in advance for the length of this review. As a pivotal sociological/feminist work, I felt it was incumbent upon me to be thorough. Overall, I found the work to be about 1/3 spot on; about 1/3 very dated; and 1/3 to be questionable in its argument. Of course, I have the benefit of hindsight and the importance of this work is in the fact that it was very much a call to action in 1970. In her introduction to the 1990 release, Greer notes that she had expected the book would quickly date
