BBC Radio 4 - Meeting Myself Coming Back, Germaine Greer

The feminist and scholar Germaine Greer meets her younger self in the BBC's Sound Archive.

From The Female Eunuch to the Big Brother house, Germaine Greer relives her life and career through the BBC Sound Archive, in conversation with John Wilson.

Professor Germaine Greer's book 'The Female Eunuch' defined the 1970s for a generation of women, and she's continued to be an outspoken champion for women today. Her career is well-known for encompassing academic success and feminist thought. But there are other sides of her career too which are less well known - acting in revue and hosting TV sketch shows for instance, as well as a short stint in the 'Big Brother' house.

In the final programme in the series 'Meeting Myself Coming Back', Germaine Greer relives key moments from her life and career in conversation with John Wilson. She discusses her role in the development of feminist thought and reflects on her life through the decades.

Producer: Emma Kingsley.
