Greer the Convent Girl
Here's a fascinating piece of journalism, and tale of life, by Germaine Greer the convent girl (from yesterday's Guardian) - writing about all those things that are "the nuns' fault entirely"! (Carol, a good talking piece for the tea-ladies' list!)
I think one of the reasons why I was never properly domesticated is because I was actually socialised by a gang of mad women in flapping black habits. I am more like them than I am like my mother. I owe them more in a way because they loved me more and they worked harder on me than my mother did. They really loved us. I realise that now, although I didn't realise it at the time.
The whole article is vintage Greer, very lucid - worth the read!
