Kate Millett's tremulous and hauntingly beautiful memoir begins
with a telephone call from Minnesota where her mother is dying. Her
return home to a severe, intelligent, and controlling matriarch is
the catalyst for a meditation on her upbringing in middle America
and her subsequent outcast status as a political activist, artist,
and lesbian. Mother Millett is an intensely personal journey
through the author's interior life, a subject she has visited over
the years in such classic texts as Sita and The Loony Bin Trip. In
these pages are reflections on a life of political engagement,
beginning with the sexual politics of the feminist movement,
proceeding to the struggle for gay liberation, and culminating in
her campaign for housing rights on the Lower East Side of New York
where she and her neighbors currently face eviction. Throughout,
Millett confronts her fears of losing her mother, the anchor to a
world she has long ago rejected but which continues to define her.
Echoing Philip Roth's Patrimony, Millett writes with great
poignancy about caring for the person who brought her into the
world, a role reversal that brings with it both devastation and
grace.
