Germaine Greer – The Female Eunuch – First UK Edition 1970
£385.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘The Female Eunuch’ published by Macgibbon Kee in 1970. A very good book without inscriptions. In a very good clipped wrapper with a little fading to the spine, some rubbing to the edges and a few nicks here and there – Some darkening to the dust wrapper in places.
‘The Female Eunuch’ (1970) by Germaine Greer is a groundbreaking feminist manifesto challenging traditional gender roles and women’s oppression. Greer argues that societal expectations turn women into passive, domesticated figures, stripping them of autonomy—like eunuchs. She critiques marriage, beauty standards, and sexual repression, urging women to reclaim their identities and desires. Bold and provocative, the book became a cornerstone of second-wave feminism, inspiring debates on female liberation and personal empowerment.
