Female Eunuch
I have just finished listening to Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch. It's kind of shocking really that I'd never read it, but there you jolly well go. She read it herself for the audio book, and was pretty expressive.
It was interesting to see how much still seems relevant, given it was first published in 1970. I need to think on it some more, but I'm just pleased with myself for having got around to it so I thought I'd post about it.

As a kid looking at my mums copy of this book on the shelf, I couldn't understand the meaning of the word Eunuch so I thought it was pronounced "the Female Yuchhhh!". That's kids for you, Abster
