from Melbourne University in 1958, followed by an
MA from Sydney University in 1963. She then went to
Cambridge University in England on a Commonwealth
Scholarship and received her PhD in 1968.
In London, she became an active contributor to Oz
magazine, and was guest editor in July 1970. While
lecturing in English at Warwick University, she wrote
and published the classic book, The Female Eunuch
(1970), which became an essential text for the feminist

Woman saying in the introduction: "The time has come
to get angry again".
She has also written for many newspapers and
periodicals and was a regular guest reviewer on BBC

controversy when she walked out of the TV Reality
show Big Brother.
