  • Summary

    Mailer is famous for his tumultuous relationship with the Second Wave Feminist movement of the 1960s and 1970s. This arguably reached a peak during the 1971 Town hall panel (later dubbed “Town Bloody Hall” by Germaine Greer), during which Mailer – the sole male panelist – became the target of the audience’s ire, a perceived representative of the patriarchal society against which they were fighting. The chapter addresses the context for and implications of Mailer’s engagement with the Feminist movement.
