Germaine Greer is a reluctant subject of
biography. Fortunately, the Germaine Greer
Archive at the University of Melbourne
holds a wealth of compelling evidence
and documentation of her life. Elizabeth
Kleinhenz delved into this collection and
has emerged with a comprehensive view
of Greers life, tracing the origins and
progressions of her ideas, and the various
personas she has cultivated as an academic,
provocateur, actor, feminist and writer. This
is not a fawning fairy tale criticisms from
contemporaries and the biographers own
doubts form a significant part of the story.
This biography gives wonderful insight to
Greers life and context, and credits her
undeniably massive contribution to secondwave
feminism.
