The Female Eunuch by Germaine Greer

"The Female Eunuch" by Germaine Greer is a groundbreaking feminist book that challenges traditional views of women's roles and sexuality. Greer criticizes how society has limited women through expectations of passivity, domesticity, and reproductive roles, urging women to embrace their independence, desires, and full human potential. She argues that such societal restrictions have turned women into social "eunuchs"—people who are emotionally and sexually subdued. The book encourages women to reclaim their power, reject oppressive norms, and pursue authentic, fulfilling lives beyond societal constraints.
