Publisher's summary

A sensation upon its publication in 1970, Sexual Politics documents the subjugation of women in great literature and art. Kate Millett's analysis targets four revered authors - D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, Norman Mailer, and Jean Genet - and builds a damning profile of literature's patriarchal myths and their extension into psychology, philosophy, and politics. Her eloquence and popular examples taught a generation to recognize inequities masquerading as nature and proved the value of feminist critique in all facets of life.

This new edition features the scholar Catharine A. MacKinnon and The New Yorker correspondent Rebecca Mead on the importance of Millett's work to challenging the complacency that sidelines feminism.

Is this book outdated?

In a word, No! Is a much larger section of American society, aware of many of the things in this book? Hopefully. But the information in the book is revenant like any book about social change. Because not everything that needs changing has changed. One reviewer says that it has hate speech in it. I’m not sure how that is understood but I would think that what the reviewer means is they are offended by the actual ideas that she references in this book were actual writing by men. As a father of two daughters and a husband and I have four sisters and of course I had a mom all strong forceful women realize that things have a change completely, so I’m not gonna sit around and say that it was hate speech that she was spewing but truths that are not realized yet. Everything is not completed anyone that can say that about just about anything has issues that I am not qualified to talk about and that we shouldn’t keep fighting for them is also ridiculous.
