1 A Feminist Fashion Icon : Germaine Greer's Paisley Coat. Petra Mosmann , 2016 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Feminist Studies , vol. 31 no. 87 2016; (p. 78-94) 'This article concerns Germaine Greer’s paisley coat, featured in Vogue and Life magazines in May 1971. Focusing on the coat disrupts how we locate Greer as a subject and women’s liberation as an event. The article explores the intersection of fashion and feminist movements by analysing Greer’s coat, its archive and by placing the coat in a conversation with Greer’s thoughts on fashion.Women’s liberation’s relationship with fashion has primarily been remembered through anti-fashion and anti- beauty protests. The making, wearing and display of Greer’s coat challenges simple categorisations of both Greer and feminism’s history. ' (Publication abstract)
