How do you define the present? How do you capture something so fleeting that the very second it is acknowledged, it is already a memory? This constant shift in moments, tenses and time - both the transitory and the oppressively long - is what

In this "Very Short Introduction" Germaine Greer explores Shakespeare as a thinker, unravelling the methods he used to dramatize moral and intellectual issues in a way that made his audience dazzlingly aware of an imaginative dimension to daily life. She argues that as long as Shakespeare's work remains essential to the English-speaking world, it will retain the values which make it unique.

The most personal book from the renowned author of the landmark feminist treatise The Female Eunuch

When her father died in 1983, Germaine Greer realized how little she knew about him. What had happened during World War II to make this charming but distant man draw a "curtain of silence" around himself? Why had he never spoken of his family? Why had he never shown her the love she craved? In this deeply moving book, Greer tells of the impassioned search she made for the truth about her father--a search that led her to a new understanding of herself as well.

Her quest lasted three years and took her from England to Australia to Tasmania, India, and Malta; through scores of genealogical, civil, and military archives; and into the memories of the men and women who may--or may not--have known Reg Greer.

Yet the heart of Greer's narrative is her own emotional journey, as the startling facts behind the facade her father had constructed force her painfully to examine her own notions of truth and loyalty, family and obligation.

Praise for Daddy, We Hardly Knew You

"A big, bold book . . . Ferocious psychic need and volcanic energy drive this combined memoir, detective story and travelogue from first to last."--The New Yorker

"Riveting."--Time

В своей книге «Женщина-евнух», которая стала знаковой для феминизма второй волны, Грир утверждает, что женщины даже не осознают, как сильно их ненавидят мужчины, и как сильно их приучают ненавидеть самих себя.

Женщин сумели отделить от их либидо, от их способности желать, от их сексуальности. Они начали относиться к этому с подозрением. Как животных, например, кастрируют, чтобы они могли служить своим хозяевам — толстели или становились покорными — у женщин отрезали их способность действовать. Это процесс, при котором жертвуют силой ради деликатности и сочности, и это надо менять.

The publication of Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch in 1970 was a landmark event, raising eyebrows and ire while creating a shock wave of recognition in women around the world with its steadfast assertion that sexual liberation is the key to women's liberation. Today, Greer's searing examination of the oppression of women in contemporary society is both an important historical record of where we've been and a shockingly relevant treatise on what still remains to be achieved.

Little is known of the wife of England's greatest playwright. In play after play Shakespeare presents the finding of a worthy wife as a triumphant denouement, yet scholars persist in believing that his own wife was resented and even hated by him. Here Germaine Greer strives to re-embed the story of their marriage in its social context and presents new hypotheses about the life of the farmer's daughter who married our foremost poet. This is a daring, insightful book that asks new questions, opens new fields of investigation and research, and rights the wrongs done to Ann Shakespeare.
