About This Item
Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, 1970. First edition of the author's landmark work. Octavo, original cloth. Warmly inscribed by Kate Millett on the half-title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with light rubbing. Jacket typography by Gina Rosencrantz. Sexual Politics has been seen as a classic feminist text, said to be "the first book of academic feminist literary criticism", and "one of the first feminist books of this decade to raise nationwide male ire." Sexual Politics was an important theoretical touchstone for the second wave feminism of the 1970s.

Millet argues that "sex has a frequently neglected political aspect" and goes on to discuss the role that patriarchy plays in sexual relations, looking especially at the works of D. H.
