→Later Books: Added section ==Defence of Pedophilia==
In 2007 Greer published ''Shakespeare's Wife'',<ref>Bloomsbury Publishing London</ref> a study of Anne Hathaway that seeks to persuade us that it was the Bard's wife who paid for the publication of the [[First Folio]] thus doing an invaluable service to the world. Though the theory is a kind one, and Greer did a lot of archival research into the lives and activities of women in 16th-century Stratford, she never really brings any convincing arguments for this conclusion and does not offer any new discoveries.

==Defence of Pedophilia==
Greer has frequently cast doubt on the need for any age of consent laws. In an article in The Times in 2009, she wrote of sexual relationships between adults and children as harmless and sometimes beneficial. She defended Helen Goddard, a teacher at City of London School for Girls, convicted of the sexual abuse of a girl pupil between the ages of 13 and 15. Greer wrote "Falling for a minor is not evidence of perversion or vileness". Falling here is a euphemism for a physical relationship.
