Man who made the difference

Germaine Greer (1939)

Germaine Greer

Was born on 29 January 1939 near Melbourne. She is an Australian writer and feminist, best known for her revolutionary book The Female Eunuch (1970). She received a bachelor's degree from the University of Melbourne, a master's degree from the University of Sydney, and a doctorate from England's University of Cambridge. Renowned for her thinking about women and their roles in society, Greer began at an early age to challenge traditional concepts as a scholarship student at a convent school near Melbourne. A gifted linguist, Greer was also drawn to art, music, and literature. After earning her doctorate in 1967, she became a lecturer at the University of Warwick in England. At the same time she expressed an avid interest in rock music and England's counterculture by writing articles for underground magazines.
