Germaine Greer
“...the consequences of militancy do not disappear when the need for militancy is over. Freedom is fragile and must be protected. To sacrifice it, even as a temporary measure, is to betray it.”
Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch

Germaine Greer
“The housewife is an unpaid worker in her husband's house in return for the security of being a permanent employee: hers is the reductio ad absurdum of the employee who accepts a lower wage in return for permanence of his employment. But the lowest paid employees can be and are laid off, and so are wives. They have no savings, no skills which they can bargain with elsewhere, and they must bear the stigma of having been sacked.”
Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch

Germaine Greer
“Now as before, women must refuse to be meek and guileful, for truth cannot be served by dissimulation. Women who fancy that they manipulate the world by pussy power and gentle cajolery are fools. It is slavery to have to adopt such tactics.”
Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch

Germaine Greer
“Status ought not to be measured by a woman's ability to attract and snare a man.”
Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch

Germaine Greer
“It takes a great deal of courage and independence to decide to design your own image instead of the one that society rewards, but it gets easier as you go along.”
Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch
