Summary
Description |
Cover of the first Paladin paperback edition of The Female Eunuch (1970) by Germaine Greer, the first edition with the iconic cover of a woman's torso as a suit hanging from a rail, with a handle on each hip. Created by John Holmes, the cover became an icon of second-wave feminism. Clive Hamilton called it "perhaps the most memorable and unnerving book cover ever created." (Hamilton, Clive (2016). What Do We Want?: The Story of Protest in Australia. Sydney: National Library of Australia. p. 44.) Christine Wallace described it as "one of the most intriguing and instantly recognizable images in post-war publishing." (Wallace, Christine (1999) [1997]. Germaine Greer: Untamed Shrew. London: Faber and Faber. p. 161.) |
