Female Eunuch

The book is a feminist analysis, written with a mixture of polemic and scholarly research. It was a key text of the feminist movement in the 1970s, broadly discussed or criticized by other feminists and the wider community, particularly through the author's high profile in the broadcast media. In sections titled Soul, Love and Hate the author examines historical definitions of women's perception of self and uses a premise of imposed limitations to critique modern consumer societies, female "normality" and masculine shaping of stereotypes. In contrast to earlier feminist works, Greer uses humour, boldness and coarse language to present a direct and candid description of female sexuality; much of this subject remained unspoken in English-speaking societies. The work bridged academia and the contemporary arts in presenting the targets of the final section of the book, Revolution; it is in accord, and often associated with, a creative and revolutionary movement of the period.
