Kate Millett (born September 14, 1934 in St. Paul, Minnesota) is an American feminist writer and activist. She is best known for her 1970 book Sexual Politics. This work offers a comprehensive critique of patriarchy in Western society and literature. In particular, Millett attacked what she sees as the sexism and heterosexism of the modern novelists D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, and Norman Mailer, contrasting their perspectives with the dissenting viewpoint of the homosexual author Jean Genet.
