Slip-Shod Sibyls: Recognition, Rejection and the Woman Poet
|
||
|
"[The] premise of contemporary feminism has been a sentimental
illusion from the start. Greer rightly turns her artillery against it, and
from a startling new position: she maintains that ... it is coddling and
condescending overpraise, not simple obstruction, that has done most
damage to women poets ... When the history of modern women is
written, Germaine Greer will be seen as the one who, like Jane Austen,
permanently redefined female intellect ... Slip-Shod Sibyls must be
considered her first and long overdue major statement on general
literary history and criticism" - Camille Paglia in the Observer
