...impressively aggressive sincerity. One of the CD's best cuts is Be Careful (Cuidado con Mi Corazon), a duet with Madonna. It's a compelling pairing: we feel the love, but it is not between Martin and his duet partner; it's a shared passion for superstardom, from a woman who has attained it and an up-and-comer who wants...

...Thirty years after The Female Eunuch became a rallying cry for sexual liberation, making its striking young author an international star along the way, Greer, now 60, is out there being herself again: provocative, brilliantly engaging and maddeningly contradictory. She has a new book out this month, The Whole Woman (Knopf; 384 pages; $25)--already a best seller in the U.K. and her native Australia--and a punchy new slogan, "It's time to get angry again."

...profane and highly quotable. Says Knopf president Sonny Mehta, who was at Cambridge with Greer in the 1960s and who, over lunch in London's Soho, encouraged her to write The Female Eunuch: "Germaine is a force." Her skill as a quick-change polemicist is what gives The Whole Woman its flashes of originality: she takes issues on which most progressive women thought they had positions and sets a standard all her own. You think advances in reproductive technology have been good for women? Well, writes Greer (who underwent failed fertility treatments), "I think it rather more likely that...
