Germaine Greer by Paula Rego at the National Portrait Gallery. Two female icons meeting on canvas. Greer has never, ever deviated, nor sold women out. She is the standard for feminism. Watch her eat Norman Mailer alive in the 1979 documentary Bloody Town Hall.

On 4th June 1991 the last Cruise Missiles left Greenham Common.
@GreenPartyWomen showed the film "Women Against the Bomb" by Sonia Gonzalez, a moving tribute to the women-only peace camp which got rid of them.
Let's publicise this triumph @TheGreenParty!
