"I didn’t fight to get women out from behind vacuum cleaners to get them onto the board of Hoover." ― Germaine Greer Topic(s): Women More From Germaine Greer "Australia is a huge rest home, where no unwelcome news is ever wafted on to the pages of the worst newspapers in the world." "Never advise anyone to go to war or to get married. Write down the advice of him who loves you, though you like it not at present. He that has no children brings them up well." "All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women." More In Women "Once we hit forty, women only have about four taste buds left: one for vodka, one for wine, one for cheese, and one for chocolate."― Gina Barreca "When I meet large women who walk with confidence and are articulate and really have an understanding of how they walk in this world, I love them so deeply for being able to overcome such unbelievable odds."― Camryn Manheim "I don’t see my old films, but I think of the characters I played as friends, like the women I meet in my life who made strong impressions on me. I remember them and they are part of me."― Emmanuelle Beart
