Germaine: I mean if I challenge authority it's because I have to, it's because I have to tell the truth as I see it. Something happened the other day where somebody wanted me not to say something, it was something quite funny. And I said I'm sorry but there's no way I'm going to say what you want me to say because it's not true. But being able to tell the truth is a privilege. There are people all over the world whose lips are sealed, who can't ever tell the truth as they see it, so just being in this situation, Miss Gabby, although I think I don't talk as much as Australians think I do. ======================================================== ►About Prof. Germaine Greer Professor Germaine Greer is one of the twentieth century’s most influential feminists. The controversial writer and academic overturned a lot of the world’s thinking on feminism when, in 1970, she published her international best-seller, The Female Eunuch. Since then, she’s published other books; co-presented TV series; written for newspapers; and lectured at Cambridge University. She’s continually challenged the status quo through her flamboyant writing and intellectually-charged media appearances. Few Australians have polarised and provoked public opinion as much. ======================================================== ►About The Thread Two mates sit down with 10 iconic Australians to figure out how they broke away from the pack. Hugh and Jack seek out leaders of wide-ranging fields: adventure, sport, business, philanthropy, medicine, law and literature to uncover the common thread that binds them. The interview subjects are household names famed for remarkable and well-told stories, but rarely have they been asked how they did it, how they define success and whether anyone can do what they've done. Armed with meticulous research and uncomfortably simple questions, we elicit intriguing, inspiring and often unexpected insights from an eclectic bunch of trailblazers. ======================================================== Check out all 10 full episodes here: https://goo.gl/uQDYfu
