of hearing Germaine Greer talk. I don't think I'll be able to describe the impact. It's taken me all this time, from September 2012 to be able to talk about her and share her....have been just ingesting her ideas and her thoughts.
The first of her sayings that I want to share is this:
“In the struggle to remain a complete person and to love from her fullness instead of her inadequacy a woman may appear hard. She may feel her early conditioning tugging her in the direction of surrender, but she ought to remember that she was originally loved for herself; she ought to hang on to herself and not find herself nagging, helpless, irritable and trapped. Perhaps I am not old enough yet to promise that the self-reliant woman is always loved, but she cannot be lonely as long as there are people in the world who need her joy and her strength, but certainly in my experience it has always been so."
