About this title

Review

Millett's classic woke me up, changed my perception of women and myself, as it did for tens of thousands of American women when it first appeared.--Leslie Crawford, "Kate Millett, the Ambivalent Feminist," "Salon"

"Sexual Politics" dissected the beliefs, the cultural language, that supported sexual hierarchy. Millett's arguments cut through contemporary culture almost as surely as they did when written. In fact, it seems looking back to this old radicalism would help today's feminists to move forward.--Katie Ryder, "Why Kate Millett Still Matters," "Bookforum"
