>> The author, artist, and activist in the women’s liberation movement Kate
>> Millett died on Wednesday, September 6 at the age of eighty-two. Her first
>> book, *Sexual Politics* (1970), used four male writers—D. H. Lawrence,
>> Henry Miller, Norman Mailer, and Jean Genet—as case studies in examining
>> the subjugation of women throughout cultural and political life.
>>
>> Born in 1934 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Kate Millett and her two sisters
>> were raised by her mother, Helen Millett, a feminist who voted in the first
>> election in which women were allowed to vote in the United States. Millet
>> was educated at the University of Minnesota, where in 1956 she obtained a
>> bachelor’s in English literature, and was later sent by an aunt to Oxford
>> University, where in 1958 she earned a master’s in English literature with
>> first class honors, the first American woman ever to achieve such
>> distinction there. In 1961 she moved to Tokyo, where she taught English at
>> the prestigious Waseda University and also studied sculpture. Though she
>> married Japanese sculptor Fumio Yoshimura there in 1965, Millett soon moved
>> to New York City. In 1970, her Columbia University Ph.D. thesis was
>> published as the bestselling book, *Sexual Politics*. Millett went on to
>> publish numerous articles, essays, and ten more books.
>>
>> Her most recent publications are *The Politics of Cruelty: An Essay on
>> the Literature of Political Imprisonment* (1994) and *Mother Millett*
>> (2001). In 2013, she was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in
>> Seneca Falls, New York, the birthplace of the American Suffragette
>> Movement. She served as the director of the Millett Center for the Arts,
>> founded in 1978 in the town of LaGrange, New York.
