Introduction by Jennifer Baumgardner.The clarion call to change that galvanized a generation — now back in print. 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. Germaine Greer is the author of numerous feminist books, including The Whole Woman, a sequel to The Female Eunuch, and The Change. Jennifer Baumgardner is the co-author of Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and the Future.
