Molly's review
The Female Eunuch by Germaine Greer
Written with outrageous wit, bombast, and vicious intelligence, yet somehow not nearly as engaging as Ms. Friedan's "Feminine Mystique" to me. Both writers also display casual racism and classism, as well as disturbingly violent homophobia, that are definitely products of a bygone age, and undermine an otherwise worthy polemic.
I still want to finish "The Female Eunuch". Greer is brilliant, and despite the book's flaws, the sheer beauty of her writing and certain arguements induces rapture that is nearly religious.
