mayvisin 's review for:
The Female Eunuch
by Germaine Greer
challenging
slow-paced
Oof, this was a slog. Greer's writing style was like my essays in first year - quotes thrown in all over the place with no context or tie in.
Despite this (and the casual homophobic, transphobic and racial slurs), I acknowledge the massive effect this book had when it came out.
The medical/biological chapter about how little we understand about female anatomy and medicine was the only one I really enjoyed because much of it (unfortunately) is still quite true today. A lot of her observations in that chapter were quite apt and would have been honestly remarkable for the period.
