Hundreds hear from Germaine Greer 

Published on 18 October, 2004 

Almost 300 people gathered in Rockhampton and more than 100 others joined via videoconference from Bundaberg, Gladstone and Mackay when Germaine Greer visited CQU last week.

PhotoID:1768 The distinguished academic, authority on Shakespeare and author of books including ‘The Female Eunuch’ addressed a Women in Research (WIR) luncheon seminar.

The Rockhampton audience of 274 included many community members and even a couple of busloads of students from St Ursula's College in Yeppoon. Attendance was also good for the videoconferenced sessions in Mackay (50); Bundaberg (45) and Gladstone (17).

Professor Greer's address on 'Women at work: All work and no promotion' was a thought-provoking and often humourous critique of how we value labour in a society dominated by corporations.
