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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMother Millett\u003c\/i\u003e is an intensely personal journey through the author's interior life, a subject she has visited over the years in such classic texts as \u003ci\u003eSita\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Loony Bin Trip\u003c\/i\u003e. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEchoing Philip Roth's \u003ci\u003ePatrimony\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong \u003cb\u003eKate Millett\u003c\/b\u003e's other books are \u003ci\u003eFlying Sita\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Basement\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Loony Bin Trip\u003c\/i\u003e.
