Germaine Greer Quotes About Housewives

• The housewife is an unpaid worker in her husband's house in return for the security of being a permanent employee: hers is the reductio ad absurdum of the employee who accepts a lower wage in return for permanence of his employment. But the lowest paid employees can be and are laid off, and so are wives. They have no savings, no skills which they can bargain with elsewhere, and they must bear the stigma of having been sacked.

• Many a housewife staring at the back of her husband's newspaper, or listening to his breathing in bed is lonelier than any spinster in a rented room.

  1970 The Female Eunuch,'Love: Security'.

• Mujeres que eran amas de casa, que eran bastante desgraciadas... se sintieron inspiradas por su libro y su vida cambió. No se convirtieron en megaestrellas, pero sí en bibliotecarias o algo así. He oído a mujeres decir una y otra vez cuando sale el tema de Germaine: "Bueno, su libro cambió mi vida para mejor". Y serán mujeres modestas que viven vidas bastante corrientes, pero vidas mejores.
