More quotes by Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
If women understand by emancipation the adoption of the masculine role then we are lost indeed.
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
Unless the concepts of work and play and reward for work change absolutely, women must continue to provide cheap labor, and even more, free labor exacted of right by an employer possessed of a contract for life, made out in his favor.
Germaine Greer
Bringing up children is not a real occupation, because children come up just the same, brought or not.
Germaine Greer
It's absolutely philistine not to recognize what a great book 'An American Dream' is. Norman Mailer is his own worst enemy, and if you don't catch him in a defensive position, he'll admit it. I'd really like to help that man.
Germaine Greer
The consequences of militancy do not disappear when the need for militancy is over.
Germaine Greer
Pigs may like honey, but that doesn't stop it being sweet.
Germaine Greer
You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
