	Maoist book review of Kate Millett's Flying

		If Kate Millett did not exist, MIM would have had to invent her to explain how it is that many 1960s radicals found their way into a pseudo-feminist dead-end.
		Kate Millett led the way in constructing a new femininity in reaction to the revolutionary movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

	Theology Today - Vol 28, No. 2 - July 1971 - BOOK REVIEW - Sexual Politics & The Prisoner of Sex
		Millett traces back the total present-day concentration of the means of power in male hands to the division of labor by sex (which has produced the invidious, long-standing concept of separate roles) and the evolution of the family as property-the property of the eldest male, or "head," of the family.
		Millett surveys the record of past attempts to come to terms with the principles and practices of male dominance on the combined fronts of state and home.
		Millett believes that we may now be entering a new phase of "sexual revolution," the goal of which she projects as "a permissive single standard of sexual freedom, and one uncorrupted by the crass and exploitative economic bases of traditional sexual alliances" (p.

		In 1970, Millett's dissertation -- which she didn't expect to be published much less read by the mainstream -- became a bestseller.
		What Millett advocated hardly sounds subversive in 1999, perhaps because much of it is now accepted as basic feminist theology -- most notably, her questioning a patriarchy that relegates more than half its population to second-class citizenship.

		In 1979, Millett went to Iran to work for women's rights, was soon expelled, and wrote about the experience in "Going to Iran." "The Politics of Cruelty," published in 1994 -- which brought her more attention than any book since "Sexual Politics" -- exposed the ongoing use of state-sanctioned torture in dozens of countries.
		Is this to be Millett's epitaph -- a bitter, misguided feminist?
		Millett explains she also didn't know her article was on the Internet and appears chagrined that the piece came across as self-pitying.

		Millett brings her mother back from the nursing home to care for her in the apartment she has been expected to give up.
		Millett has chosen to write this book not in the polished Oxford academese of Sexual Politics or in the dense polemic of The Politics of Cruelty, but in unbuttoned memoir prose that dares the reader to like her warts and all.

		Kate Millett did not apply, nor for any of the several jobs at the other Arizona universities that were open.
		Millett's disappointment about her inability to get a job in academia made me think seriously about how one goes about doing just that ie getting a permanent, tenured position rather than applying for part-time teaching positions.
		Millett's story suggests to me that this is not an alternative that is satisfying in the long run, and that if Ph.D. candidates should be unable to get a permanent position in academia, I should consider my options carefully rather than settling for part-time work as a way of life.

	Kate Millett Article and Bibliography
		Those of you who are studying third wave feminism might want to know what has happened to Kate Millett--there is a very sad story in _The Guardian_ about her fight with poverty in the past years, along with other friends who were feminist writers in the late 60s, early 70s.
		This is a disservice in particular to Millett who has consistently remained an active participant and contributor to the movement and regularly publishes new books--"The Politics of Cruelty" (1994) and "A.D." (1995)--as well as teaches, gives lectures on a wide variety of topics from the use of torture in the 20th century to psychiatric abuse.
		She also continues to be an active artist as evidenced by the retrospective show of her sculpture held in 1997 at the University of Maryland (Baltimore) and in New York City.

		This is particularly a problem for women, as traditional womanhood was centred on the biological act of motherhood and the emotional life associated with it, rather than an act of intellectual or wilful “self-making” as might be claimed by men competing in the public world of arts, sciences and politics.
		Millett argues at length, as she must, that there is nothing natural about the female role.
		Millett wanted us to believe that the distinction between masculine and feminine was not natural: that it was an artificial product of culture and not biology.
