A sensation upon its publication in 1970, Sexual Politics documents the subjugation of women in great literature and art. Beginning in 1830 and targeting four revered authors—D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, Norman Mailer, and Jean Genet—Kate Millett builds a damning profile of literature's patriarchal myths and their extension into psychology, philosophy, and politics. Her eloquence and popular examples taught a generation to recognize inequities masquerading as nature and proved the value of feminist critique in all facets of life. This new edition features Catharine A. Mackinnon (University of Michigan Law School) and New Yorker correspondent Rebecca Mead on the importance of Millett's work to challenging the complacency currently sidelining feminism.

Цитаты

  • TaeTaeцитирует3 года назад
    Acute observers perceived that the rationalization for the repeal of the right to legal abortion as a desire to protect the health of the mother was a hypocrisy which “obviously camouflaged” 43 the desire for a rise in the birth rate as the result of war preparations.

    Just as in Nazi Germany, the mood had changed to one which dictated large population growth in an increasingly militarized society.
    Abortion was the first wedge, but other reactionary attitudes which had persisted soon began to reassert themselves.
  • TaeTaeцитирует3 года назад
    The effect here is to force motherhood on the unwilling as a social obligation, to deny that sexuality may be removed from procreation, and to create a negative attitude toward sexuality itself under the guise of pious concern over women and babies. The last was hardly necessary, so great was the shame and distaste for sexuality in Soviet women, a legacy from prerevolutionary attitudes, that the same congress could affirm that 60–70 per cent of women were incapable of experiencing sexual pleasure.
