Summary: stop academic misandrism!
Comment: Remember,this woman`s books have been about misandrism and prejudice,not enlightenment or empowerment.Women that write these books usually support separatism of the sexes and hate which does not benefit anyone.We dont tolerate hatred of blacks or gays,we shouldnt tolerate hatred and denigration of men either.

Rating: 1
Summary: absolutely putrid
Comment: This woman has been denigrating men for over three decades.Her books have served to do nothing but promote prejudice against men.Remember,you can choose not to hate and live a fuller,more productive life.I`ve seen the minds of many good,loving people poisoned by books written by this woman and others.I`m hoping one day these authors will grow up and finally let go of their petty contempt for men.

Summary: Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover...
Comment: I buy a lot of photography books and was recommended this book by Amazon. It didn't have a lot of reviews at the time but I thought the cover image/design was interesting and expected a book that would have a lot of photos as well as some writings about the above mentioned subject.

Imagine my surprise when I'm flipping through the book and find it's mostly reproductions of old masters paintings with only a few dozen examples of photography at best. Germaine Greer (I'm not that familiar with her other writings) writes well and obviously has done her research, but I feel the cover is misleading as it makes you think it's a photography book when it's not. The modern photographic style and typography on the cover doesn't reflect the contents of the book accurately as she mostly writes about young males depicted in PAINTINGS. This feels more like a book you'd buy for an Art History class in College than a coffee table book (which was the impression I got.)

I'm not that horribly disappointed as I do like to read too and was pleasantly absorbed in the history and politics of "the female gaze", but don't buy it if you are expecting a photography book.
