Monica Dux appeared on Radio National’s Life Matters to discuss her article in Kill Your Darlings Issue Two, ‘Temple of The Female Eunuch: Germaine Greer Forty Years On’. In her article, Monica examines the critics and critiques of feminist Germaine Greer. Listen to the show here.

On Tuesday evening, Associate Editor Jo Case drew Monica Dux, Leslie Cannold and Karen Pickering into discussion of this seminal text. What has its legacy been? Is it still relevant? And why is The Female Eunuch – and Germaine Greer – still so compelling forty years on? See Jo’s Q & A with Monica from before the event, kindly produced by Readings.

Kill Your Darlings presents Monica Dux, Leslie Cannold and Karen Pickering in conversation about the impact of Germaine Greer’s classic feminist text, The Female Eunuch, at the time of publication and now, 40 years on. (And yes, we’ll also talk about that Nowra article.) This promises to be a stimulating discussion about how much things have and haven’t changed for women, as well as the impact of the book that made Greer’s international reputation. Monica Dux, co-author of The Great Feminist Denial, will refer to her essay on the subject in Kill Your Darlings Issue Two (July). Writer and ethicist Leslie Cannold is the author of What, No Baby? and The Abortion Myth. Karen Pickering is the founder of Melbourne-based regular ‘feminism in the pub’ event Cherchez La Femme. The conversation will be chaired by Jo Case, associate editor of Kill Your Darlings.
