At the end, Greer mentions a book called Difficult Women (1983) by David Plante, which contains a long section about her. She hates it. But Plante has some points to make about Greer's characteristic state of readiness, her far- ranging competence: "She lived, not in the particular country in which she was bodily, but in the general, problematic world which obsessed her." Daddy, We Hardly Knew You is a vivid dispatch from that world, a problem triumphantly solved.
