germaine greer (29/1 1939) - feminist and author.

A professor of English literature at the University of Warwick in England, and the author of several highly acclaimed books, Greer's ground-breaking The Female Eunuch became an international bestseller when it was published in 1970, turning Greer overnight into a household name, and bringing her both adulation and criticism. Her ideas have created controversy ever since


Greer's book explained how the differences between the sexes have been exaggerated and how sex roles are learned, not “natural”. Both sexes, said Greer, deform themselves in order to conform to socially given gender roles.

The first six chapters of The Female Eunuch examine the body in order to support these assertions. The rest of the book examines the processes by which girls are conditioned to conform to the feminine stereotype, but also their struggles against it.

Greer debunks the fantasies of romantic love and the happy family, and describes the misogyny around us and the misery of unfulfilled female lives. The final chapters present her criticisms of other feminist perspectives on women's emancipation and her own solutions.

om DORIS LESSING :
Det kvindebevaegelsen specielt har faestnet sig ved i Lessings forfatterskab er, at kvinders liv og virkelighed danner det logiske udgangspunkt i naesten alt hun skriver. Fremfor alt er - The Golden Notebook - blevet fremhaevet som en af vor tids vigtigste boeger. En roman - som har forandret kvinders liv - . Selv om den udkom flere aar faar den nye kvindebevaegelse begyndte at roere paa sig, tager den mange af de centrale spoergsmaal i kvindekampen op: aegteskabet som institution, forholdet mellem seksuel - frigoerelse - og frihed generelt, forholdet mellem kvinderolle og kunstnerrolle. Selvom Lessing ikke altid selv har vaeret lige tilfreds med denne ophoejelsen til kvindesagsprofet, rokker det ikke ved hendes grundlaeggende betydning for kvindebevaegelsen, men det viser samtidig, at for hende er kvindesag en del af et stoerre problemkompleks.
