glindaaa 's review for:
The Female Eunuch
by Germaine Greer
So I feel quite lucky to be a university student at this point and being able to borrow some books from the library to learn more about the feminist waves and so on.
As I have to write an essay about social movements, I picked the second Feminist wave and what is happening now. With that, I have been using Goodreads to find books that might have a big influence on the second feminist wave and to give me opinions about what was happening in the time and just to gather more information in general because it is very interesting.
Luckily for me, the university library had the book so I could just borrow it and read through it, at the moment my essay mainly focuses on the beauty view (how do you have to look as a woman) and sexual harassment. This book gave me a lot of that bit of information, I still have a lot more to read but it was actually quite nicely written (including the sarcasm). I only did not like the quotes in between the pieces of text because it would cut off sentences and just brought me out of what I was reading but well that can happen to other books as well.
Greer breaks up everything she wants to mention in categories, Love, Hate etc and gives chapter title so that to explain in further detail what she means and that was a very nice way and to me a good construction to how I understand or how I can find something back when I am really writing this essay, at this point I am still in the gathering phase but I have time.
