Germaine Greer Quotes:
Ocupation: Journalist
Life: b. January 29, 1939
Birthday: January 29
Women have been charged with deviousness and duplicity since the dawn of civilization so they have never been able to pretend that their masks were anything but masks. It is a slender case but perhaps it does mean that women have always been in closer contact with reality than men: it would seem to be the just recompense for being deprived of idealism.
