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, 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.
