Happy 82nd bday to Kate Millett! She's a feminist writer, activist, & artist. She identifies as bisexual & has bipolar disorder, so much of her advocacy focuses on sexuality, sexual identity, & mental health. Her book Sexual Politics is a defining text on feminist sexual theory—it was her PhD dissertation at Columbia Univ.—& has led to a wider acceptance of legal abortion & sexual freedom. Super power: her side eye can shatter the patriarchy. 👊🏼
