Unforgettable Aussie Celebrities From The Golden Days And What They Have Been Up To Lately

Germaine Greer – Victoria – Born In 1939

In 1971 a bold documentary ‘Town Bloody Hall’ featuring audacious Greer Germaine debating author Norman Mailer on the topic of women’s liberation at New York City’s Town Hall struck the world, introducing her as a groundbreaker. Germaine, born in Victoria, Australia, in 1939, is an English writer passionate about women’s rights and has written countless books on it.

While her notable works are ‘The Whole Woman’ and ‘Shakespeare’s Wife,’ Germaine’s most influential book remains, ‘The Female Eunuch,’ which sold as many copies worldwide as it started conversations. Beyond publishing, Germaine also starred in some movies and documentaries, including ‘Darling, Do You Love Me,’ and appeared as herself in the 2011 mockumentary ‘Come Fly With Me.’
