Books like Sexual politics by Kate Millet

Name: Sexual politics
Author: Kate Millet

Kate Millett’s *Sexual Politics*, published in 1970, became a landmark critique of the way patriarchal thought is embedded in cultural artifacts. By showing how gendered power dynamics shape literature, philosophy, psychology, and politics, Millett argued that patriarchy disguises itself as natural. The book challenged canonical works such as *Lady Chatterley’s Lover* and *The Naked and the Dead*, and it helped spark the second wave of feminist thought by documenting the systemic inequities faced by women.

First publish date: 1970
