Many people only know that Greer is an "angry" feminist, but they don't know that she actually has a doctorate in literature from Cambridge University. If it weren't for the feminist movement that began in the 1960s, maybe she would have been teaching silently in the university until her death.
1October 29th, Greer was born in Melbourne, Australia. 1956, Greer was admitted to the University of Melbourne with a bachelor's degree in English and French language and literature. From 65438 to 0963, Greer entered the University of Sydney and obtained a master's degree in English. With a master's thesis on Byron's poetry, she successfully applied for a Commonwealth scholarship to study for a doctorate at Cambridge University in England. Her research direction is Shakespeare's plays.
Forced to leave Cambridge University because of discrimination against transgender people.
From 65438 to 0968, Greer soon got a teaching position in the English Department of Warwick University in England with the title of Doctor of Literature from Cambridge University. In the same year, she married Australian journalist Paul, but the marriage lasted only three weeks. They formally divorced on 1973. Greer later admitted that the failure of the marriage stemmed from her infidelity, and she cheated several times within three weeks of marriage. This is the only marriage in her life.
From 65438 to 0970, after the publication of "The Eunuch" made Greer famous in one fell swoop, she began a book signing tour around the world. 1972, Greer simply resigned from the faculty. She bought a house in Italy, worked as a TV presenter, regularly wrote a column for the Sunday Times, and spent the rest of her time traveling mainly in Asia and Africa and being invited to give speeches. 1972, Greer was arrested by the police for using indecent words in her speech during her trip to New Zealand, and her supporters launched a large-scale protest March.
From 65438 to 0989, Greer returned to England from an American university and became a special teacher and researcher at Newham College, Cambridge University, but seven years later he resigned amid controversy.
Originally in 1996, a transsexual named Raphael Pederman applied to be a researcher at Newnham College. Greer strongly opposed it on the grounds that Pederman was born a man, while Newnham was a women's college. Greer's discrimination against transgender people aroused the resentment of British public opinion, and she was forced to leave Cambridge under pressure. Greer, 7 1 year-old, is now an honorary professor of English literature and comparative literature at Warwick University.
1999, another important book, The Complete Works of Women, which was regarded as the companion of female eunuchs, was published. The Complete Woman, like The Eunuch, is also a bestseller of Anger. In the book, she analyzes the oppression, abuse and destruction suffered by western women in a patriarchal society from many angles, which is called "dropping a controversial bomb" by the media.
Shooting "nude art photos" in the year of sixty.
1999, 60-year-old Greer appeared under the lens of Polly Boland, a famous Australian female portrait photographer. I saw Greer sitting naked in a hotel-like big bed, with glasses on the white mattress, covering the sensitive parts of his body with an elegant and generous gesture, and a confident smile on his face. Although the wrinkles on her face and body reveal her age, there is no lack of intellectual beauty in old age. In 2000, Greer's striking "nude art photos" appeared in an exhibition in the National Portrait Gallery of Britain, and were later included in a photo selection by Boland.
Criticize the motherland
Greer, who has lived in Britain for many years, is very concerned about the fate of Australian aborigines. At the beginning of 2000, she declared in London that she would never set foot in Australia again if she did not receive a pass issued by "the traditional residents of this land" at Sydney airport. Interestingly, however, a spokesman for the New South Wales Aboriginal Territory Council said that Greer had been in and out of Sydney for several years, but he had never applied for a permit from the agency, and the Council was the only institution that issued such permits.
In 2004, Greer criticized and ridiculed his motherland, saying that "mediocrity and boredom" were synonymous with Australia. In response, Howard, then Prime Minister of Australia, responded that Ms. Greer was an elite, and being born in Australia was somewhat condescending. On another occasion, Greer criticized: "Australia is a huge nursing home, and no unwelcome news will float to the worst newspaper pages in the world."
However, the flamboyant Greer was once frightened and almost died. In April 2000, Greer, 6 1 year-old, was attacked by a female college student, 0/kloc-9/year-old, at her home in London. When the friend found out, Greer lay helpless on the ground, and his legs were tightly grasped by the female students. Later, the female student was accused of harassment, sentenced to two years' probation and forced to receive psychotherapy. The accident didn't seem to have much effect on nervous Greer. Facing the reporter, she said: "I am not angry or sad. I'm not hurt. I'm fine. I haven't lost my sense of humor. I am not here as a victim. "
Take part in a reality show
In 2005, Greer entered the studio of the British reality show Big Brother as one of the nine contestants. But five days later, she quit the show, saying that she couldn't stand the mental injury and the bullying of the producers. She also complained that there was too much dust in the contestants' houses, and her competitors liked being famous too much. However, complaining to complaining does not prevent her from appearing in the other two reality shows under the brand of Big Brother.
have a quick mind
In 2006, steve irwin, a famous Australian wildlife protector and 44-year-old crocodile hunter, was killed by a poisonous fishbone. Owen is a well-known national treasure in Australia, and his nature TV programs have attracted millions of viewers around the world. When the news of Owen's death came, and many Australians who liked Owen's program were crying, Greer wrote a column in Britain, saying that "the animal world finally took revenge on Owen". In her opinion, Owen has actually been "torturing animals".
