Modern feminism has become the victim of unenlightened complacency, and what started out in the Sixties as a movement for liberation has become one that has sought and settled for equality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith fiery rhetoric, authoritative insight, outrageous humour and broad-ranging debate, Greer 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 in the basic areas of health, sex, politics, economics and marketing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eErudite, eccentric, provocative and invigorating, Germaine Greer once again sets the agenda for the future of feminism. Here is all the polemical power that sold over a million copies of \u003ci\u003eThe Female Eunuch\u003c\/i\u003e and kept its author at the heart of controversy ever since. The Whole Woman was a No. 1 \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller for five weeks and was hailed by the critics as a ''polemical bomb'' (\u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e) and as required reading for thinking adults everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInto the pale politeness of post-feminism, Greer has thrown a polemical bomb . . . Greer's acid anger comes as a surprising reminder of what the point of a feminist book was meant to be. It is funny, unforgiving, unapologetic, unappeasing. -- Decca Aitkenhead * Guardian *\u003cbr\u003eDon't underestimate this book. Its power, like that of \u003ci\u003eThe Female Eunuch\u003c\/i\u003e, lies in the virtuosity and wit of its questions. Its capacity will force us to stop and think. -- Lisa Jardine * Observer *\u003cbr\u003eThree cheers for Greer . . . She makes every other feminist writer look like pallid fast food, devoid of vitamins and roughage. -- Lesley Garner * Evening Standard *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a serious book which it is impossible to be neutral about. -- Gemma Hussey * Irish Independent *\u003cbr\u003eReading \u003ci\u003eThe Whole Woman\u003c\/i\u003e has been a mega-vitamin shot. I feel rearmed, revitalised. -- Cath Kenneally * The Australian *","brand":"Transworld Publishers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48735274467671,"sku":"9780552774345","price":11.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780552774345.jpg?v=1723810107","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-whole-woman-9780552774345","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
