Sexual Politics by Kate Millett

When it was published in 1970, "Sexual Politics" immediately became a foundation for future feminist thought and discourse. Like her writing, Gloria says Kate Millett was "brilliant, deep, and uncompromising... She wrote about the politics of male dominance, of owning women’s bodies as the means of reproduction, and made readers see this as basic to hierarchies of race and class. She was not just talking about unequal pay, but about woman-hatred in the highest places and among the most admired intellectuals. As Andrea Dworkin said, ‘The world was asleep, but Kate Millett woke it up.' ”
