Narrative Of her, the Catholic Encyclopedia writes: From her birth she seemed marked out for suffering; she came into the world with a deformed hand and the disease of scrofula, and, while yet an infant, lost her mother. Her father soon married again, but his second wife treated Germaine with much cruelty. Under pretence of saving the other children from the contagion of scrofula she persuaded the father to keep Germaine away from the homestead, and thus the child was employed almost from infancy as a shepherdess.

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