Changes

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.

In recent years, Greer has come under attack from the LGBT movement for her opposition to [[transgender]] ideology. In 2009 she wrote a column saying that men passing as women "seem to us ghastly parodies" and that they were suffering from "a delusion". She refused to recant and since them has been regularly denounced by transgender rights groups In 2012 she was glitter-bombed in New Zealand by some of these activists. <ref>http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2012/03/14/in-photos-germaine-greer-glitter-bombed-for-trans-comments/</ref>. In England in 2015 an LGBT group tried to ban her from speaking at [[Cardiff University]] because of her views on this issue. Greer first said she would not go, then after much furore, she changed her mind and decided to appear. It is curious that a woman who was once so popular for her non-traditional views is now unpopular because of her traditional views and is banned from speaking on the only subject on which she has ever been undoubtedly, completely correct. <ref>https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/nov/18/transgender-activists-protest-germaine-greer-lecture-cardiff-university</ref>
