Kate Millett

About the author

Kate Millett was an American feminist writer, artist, teacher, and activist whose work connected political analysis with intensely personal memoir. Sita considers love, grief, and the pressures of identity through Millett’s experience; it is one part of a body of writing that also includes Sexual Politics, a landmark critique of gender and power in literature, and her later accounts of activism, family, and mental-health institutions. Her papers document the range of her creative and political work.
