Sexual politics

Book • 1970
In 'Sexual Politics', Kate Millett critiques the patriarchal structures and heteronormativity reflected in Western literature.

She argues that the power imbalance between the sexes is a social construct rather than a biological fact.

The book analyzes works by authors such as Henry Miller, Norman Mailer, and D.H.

Lawrence, highlighting how their writings perpetuate patriarchal views and the subjugation of women.

Millett also explores the historical context of the sexual revolution and its failure to overthrow patriarchal rule, as well as the role of social sciences, particularly Freudian ideas, in legitimizing traditional sex roles.

The book is a central text of second-wave feminism, emphasizing the political nature of personal relationships and the need for gender equality and sexual liberation.
