Specializing in English and women's literature, she has held academic positions in England at the University of Warwick and Newnham College, Cambridge, and in the United States at the University of Tulsa. Based in the United Kingdom since 1964, she has divided her time since the 1990s between Queensland, Australia, and her home in Essex, England.

Greer's subsequent work has focused o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
