The Female Eunuch - Germaine Greer

The 50th Anniversary edition of the ground-breaking, worldwide best-selling feminist tract.

If you think you are emancipated, you might consider the idea of tasting your menstrual blood - if it makes you sick, you've a long way to go, baby.

The Female Eunuch exploded into the world in 1970. Bold and provocative, it draws on history, literature and popular culture to make searing arguments which helped a generation of women to see the world anew. It remains a landmark in the history of women's struggle to liberate themselves from oppression, and an electric, entertaining and essential read for anyone interested in the position of women in the world today.
