Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
Most women still need a room of their own and the only way to find it may be outside their own home.
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
Soccer is an art more central to our culture than anything the Arts Council deigns to recognize.
Germaine Greer
Human beings have an unalienable right to invent themselves when that right is pre-empted it is called brain-washing.
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
Man is jealous because of his amour propre woman is jealous because of her lack of it.
Germaine Greer

Germaine Greer
