Out of all the feminist classics, this one is by far my favorite. Germaine Greer casts light on how traditional institutions such as marriage in there modern form at our more modern than we think, and are actually highly unnatural to the human condition. Moreover, she effectively uses the archetype of the unit to describe how restrictions society imposes upon women. Their sexuality in particular, effectively castrates them, to the detriment of heterosexual love and interpersonal relations at the micro and macro social levels. Highly recommended.
