About This Item
Doubleday, London, 1999. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. red end-papers; Thirty years since the publication of " The Female Eunuch " Germaine Greer returns to the subject of feminism. 'The Whole Woman' offers thirty-five self-contained 'chapterkins' of fiery rhetoric, authoritative insight, outrageous humour and broad-ranging debate ranging from Breasts and Girl-power to Mutilation, Sex and Sorrow. Together, they add up to a devastatingly powerful argument, in which Greet shows that although women have indeed come a very long way in the last thirty years, the notion of our 'having it all' has disguised the persistent discrimination and exploitation that continues to exist for women throughout the world in the basic areas of health, sex, work, politics, marketing and economics.
