GREER WATCH

The play does not make direct reference to Greer, but clearly revolves around her as the main character and criticises her years of feminst radicalism and novels, that contributed to a generation of mothers 'emancipated from their kitchens'.

Though it is exteremly critical of Greer, and raises some interesting issues about the role of Greer's radical feminism in Australia - to what it extent was it welcomed? what did it do to the face of feminism?

Whats more, two months ago the play debuted on West End, London. Greer has lived in the UK for years now, and the popularity of this fresh Australian play is sending her steaming.

She has called the playwriter, Joanna Murray-Smith, am "insane reactionary" who "holds feminism in contempt".

Many Australians feel that the Greer movement in some way discredited the female movement, by creating extreme ideals that did not match up to real life (and the play shows this very well, with a great mix of comical satire and drama). Did women want feminism at that militant level??

And so as anti-Greer sentiment make it way to UK shores, the question is this: how much will Aussie opinion alter the English attitudes towards Greer? Perhaps we're still bitter, maybe she's not that bad. Nevertheless, at the rate Greer's comments are reering heads at popular figures around the world, we're bound to get an answer some time soon.
