Kate Millett
The radical feminist who argued that patriarchy is a political system that operates through sexual politics — the power dynamics embedded in personal and sexual relationships between men and women.
Real World
The #MeToo movement (2017) powerfully illustrated Millett's central argument that sexual politics operates in everyday personal interactions — exposing how male power in workplaces and relationships had been normalised and depoliticised for decades.
Exam Focus
For 'analyse' questions, apply Millett's concept of sexual politics to contemporary examples rather than restating her biography — application wins marks.
