Germaine Greer put theory into practice by living her own flamboyant fusion of feminism and sexual freedom with tumultuous results. When she contrasted this version of feminism with conventional mores in ‘The Female Eunuch’, highlighting the extent to which women were the constructs and handmaidens of men, it produced a shock of recognition in an entire generation of women.

Since then Greer has continually challenged feminist and sexual orthodoxies, confounding the women’s movement and generating headlines over three decades in the process.

From convent school to Cambridge, from academic to passionate pop advocate for one of the twentieth century’s most important movements, ‘Greer, Untamed Shrew’ is the first full-lenth appraisal of the life and work of Australia’s most influential intellectual export.
