The Female Eunuch By Germaine Greer Available As Audiobook For The Very First Time


Press Release

Audible, the UK's leading provider of audio downloads of books, has released Germaine Greer's seminal feminist text, The Female Eunuch as an audio download. Greer's recording marks the first time the text has been available in audio format.

Part polemic, part cultural history, and among the most widely read feminist texts in history, The Female Eunuch comes alive through Greer's narration, which magnifies the wit, wisdom and passion that underpin her prose. As society considers what progress, if any, has been made in the 40 years since The Female Eunuch was first published, this unabridged audio download allows a new means of connecting with Greer's plea for female emancipation.
Germaine Greer commented that she was "delighted to record The Female Eunuch as an audiobook."

Laurence Howell, Audible, said: "Audible is delighted to make The Female Eunuch available to our members for the very first time. Germaine was the only person who could possibly bear the mantle of narrating such a cultural milestone, and we were overjoyed when she agreed to give voice to her book. We do hope this new audio edition gives many people a reason to discover, or revisit, this iconic work."

The Female Eunuch, written and read by Germaine Greer, is from www.audible.co.uk in the UK, and worldwide from www.audible.com. This title augments Audible's extensive non-fiction catalogue, which includes works by Caitlin Moran, Bill Bryson, Richard Dawkins and David Attenborough. Audible UK has over 60,000 currently available titles.
