The female eunuch is partly about the image of the dolly bird that you see everywhere in the 1960s. She says, her dominion must not be thought to entail the rule of women, for she is not a woman.

Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: 1960s fashion and femininity
For: Readers interested in feminist theory and cultural history
Key quote: She is, in other words, a female eunuch.
The host references 'The Female Eunuch' to highlight Germaine Greer's critique of the superficiality and objectification of women in the 1960s. Greer's analysis serves as a lens through which to examine the cultural shifts regarding femininity and sexual expression during that era.
