GERMAINE GREER
Feminist, academic, author, performer, public intellectual. Based in the United Kingdom since 1964, divides her time between Australia and the UK. In early 1972, hot on the heels of the ‘The Female Eunuch’, Greer triumphantly returned to Australia to stir the pot. Shimmering with Rock ‘n’ Roll glamour and intellectual fireworks she’d mopped the floor with a clearly amused and adoring Norman Mailer in their recent New York City Town Hall debate.
