Reviews
"A confession of a daughter. An extraordinarily rich and sensitive narrative, like a good wine."-Yoko Ono "As young activists search for ways to define their own movements, Kate Millett contributes a novel idea: Think outside yourself and fight for your mother's, or father's-or grandmother's or grandfather's-rights. Eventually, they will be your own."- The Nation "This work, a meditation on both the perils of mother-daughter love and old age, is perhaps her warmest and most universal to date."- Independent "One of the Best Books of 2001: Written in compelling prose, this poignant memoir of her mother's final years and the writer's struggle to face losing the most influential person in her life reestablishes Millet as a major American literary voice ... An essential purchase."- Library Journal " Mother Millett captures the strength of the bond that overcomes conflicts that inevitably arise between two fiercely independent women, particularly when they are mother and daughter."- Bloomsbury Review "You'll argue with Kate Millett as you read along, but only because she's succeeded in making you think."- Gay and Lesbian Review "Millett's book captures the experience of a parent's old age remarkably well, with a strength and grace of which Mother Millet could be proud."- Washington Post Book World "Kate Millett opens the door of memories for all of us whose lives were changed by a magical relative, and whose families were crossroads of different social classes."-Gloria Steinem "In this age of the memoir, Mother Millett stands out for its nervy, haunting, runaway intensity-for all those qualities we've long associated with Kate Millett's life and writing. Centered on the tumultuous story of her mother's aging and decline, the book immerses is a a maelstrom of raw emotion and unsparing insight. Kate Millett dares us, once again, to stand close to the fire."-Martin Duberman, 'eoeYou'll argue with Kate Millett as you read along, but only because she's succeeded in making you think.'e�

Synopsis
Kate Millet's memoir begins with her return to Minnesota to take care of her intelligent but controlling mother who is dying. This is the catalyst for a meditation on her upbringing in middle America and her subsequent outcast status as a political activist, artist, and lesbian. Reflecting on her life of political engagement, beginning with the sexual politics of the feminist movement, proceeding to the struggle for gay liberation, and culminating with her campaign for housing rights on the Lower East Side, she confronts the fears of losing her mother and a world which she long ago rejected but which still defines her., 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.
