Autorenporträt
Germaine Greer is an Australian-born English feminist writer who championed the sexual liberation during the 60s and 70s, and has become known for her outspoken opinions. Greer was educated at the Universities of Melbourne and Sydney, then achieved a doctorate in 1967 in literature at the University of Cambridge. She wrote for the magazine Oz and lectured, until publication of The Female Eunuch (1970). Greer debated with Norman Mailer on the topic of women's liberation in April 1971 at New York City's Town Hall, filmed and made into a documentary called Town Bloody Hall. Greer's books include The Obstacle Race: The Fortunes of Women Painters and Their Work (1979), Sex and Destiny: The Politics of Human Fertility (1984), The Change: Women, Ageing and the Menopause (1991), Slip-shod Sibyls: Recognition, Rejection, The Woman Poet (1995), and The Whole Woman (1995). Her revisionist biography of Shakespeare's wife, Anne Hathaway (2007), was well received by critics. In her memoir White Beech: The Rainforest Years (2013), she recounts her work to restore a rainforest. She appeared on the British reality television show Celebrity Big Brother in 2005, but left the show early on.
