Description

In 1968 Mallory Millett arrived in New York just in time to watch her sister Kate Millett turn into an icon of the radical Second Wave feminist movement. At first, Mallory thought of herself as a feminist. But soon Mallory began to realize that feminism wasn’t quite what she thought: “I’d been brought into something very, very weird.”


And the weirdness is still around. In fact, Mallory says that Kate’s radical ideas have shaped a new narrative about what it means to be a woman. In fact, says Mallory, these ideas have “taken over the world. Kate has taken over the world.”


So today, a story about a woman who took a journey with her sister, only to realize that she’d been led into some very dark places.
