Super Short Summary

The Female Eunuch by Germaine Greer, published in 1970, argues that patriarchal society teaches women to internalize misogyny, detaching them from their bodies and sexuality, effectively rendering them "eunuchs." Focusing on Anglophone societies, it critiques the suburban nuclear family and middle-to-upper-class, heterosexual, cisgender women. This book examines bodily autonomy, legal equality, and sexual liberation as essential for women's emancipation. Sensitive discussions include sexual violence and graphic depictions of menstruation and sex.
