Germaine Greer, Celebrity Feminism and the Archive, the first scholarly book on this internationally renowned feminist, draws upon Greer’s largely unexplored archive to demonstrate her impact on readers and viewers since the 1970s.
Across many decades in the limelight, and through multiple media forms, the provocative Greer has worked to shape audience understandings of gender, sexuality and feminism. Through deep engagement with archival material, heavily curated by Greer herself, Anthea Taylor offers a compelling reassessment of Greer’s celebrity feminist labour and its effects over time. Examining archived letters from fans, anti-fans, and those in-between, this innovative volume shows how and why readers and viewers have come to affectively invest – or disinvest – in this iconoclastic feminist.
Advancing debates about the social and political function of celebrity, Germaine Greer, Celebrity Feminism and the Archive is essential reading for scholars in Gender Studies, History, Archival Studies, and Media and Cultural Studies.
Anthea Taylor is an Associate Professor and Chair of Gender and Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney, Australia. She is the author of four monographs in feminist cultural studies, including Celebrity and The Feminist Blockbuster and the co-authored Postfeminism in Context.
