The Change (1992)
"... a brilliant, gutsy, exhilarating, bruising, exasperating fury
of a book, broadly researched, boundlessly insightful and yet so haphazardly
presented that this reader was driven more than once to slam shut the volume
and curse the author for what seemed like a willful lack of discipline."
"Opinions That May Shock the Faithful" (March 22, 1971)
greer talks about the reaction to "The Female Eunuch" and amplifies
some of the provocative positions she takes in the book.
"Oh, the Things They're Debating at Cambridge" (February 24, 1973)
in this transcription of a debate between greer and billy buckley jr.,
greer says, "it strikes me as very strange that whereas tennyson could
support most of mr. buckley's propositions about free trade, and the private
sector, and private enterprise, tennyson found no difficulty also in lending
intellectual support to the idea of women's liberation."
WFB: tastes great.
GG: less filling.*
