Description
Kate Millett's memoir is a deeply personal exploration of her life and its complexities. It begins with a phone call from Minnesota, where her mother is dying, prompting her return home to confront the severe and intelligent matriarch who has shaped her upbringing. The book is a meditation on Millett's experiences as a political activist, artist, and lesbian, tracing her journey through the feminist movement, gay liberation, and her campaign for housing rights. Throughout, she grapples with her fears of losing her mother, who remains a defining presence in her life despite their long-standing differences. This is a poignant and introspective account of caring for one's parents, a role reversal that brings both devastation and a sense of responsibility.
