Germaine Greer

Author, critic, academic, Germaine Greer was born on 29 January 1939 in Melbourne, Australia.

Germaine Greer was educated at Melbourne and Sydney Universities in Australia and in 1964 she left to go to England where she studied at Newnham College, Cambridge, gaining her PhD in 1967.

From 1968-1973 Greer lectured in English at Warwick University. This period encompassed the publication of her famous book, The Female Eunuch in 1970, which had a pivotal role in a key period for feminism.

As a female supremest, no I don't believe in equality of the sexes I wouldn't lower my standards, I adore Germaine. Without this wonderfully opinionated lady who says exactly what she thinks women would not have the power, not openly anyway, that they have now.

By being forthright and up front Ms Greer has made it possible for us all to have an opinion and be able to voice them. She has made it possible for women like myself to accept who we are and be happy with that. She has made it possible for me to be me and not pretend I am something else for the sake of a parent, a sibling, a partner or any one else. I live my life for me if others don't like it they don't have to be with me... simple.

Thank you Germaine
