Writer, academic, critic and commentator Germaine Greer has been a particularly bristly thorn in establishment sides for the best part of 40 years. A native of Melbourne, she sprang onto the global literary stage with The Female Eunuch, her hugely provocative, brutally direct polemic on the nature of female sexuality and place in society. Greer would return to this theme in 1999's The Whole Woman and has also published works of literary criticism and an art history exploration of teenage male beauty, The Boy. (2006).
