Library Journal (Voted one of the best books of 2001) Millett's book captures the experience of a parent's old age remarkably well, with a strength and grace of which Mother Millett could be proud. Washington Post Book World As young activists search for ways to define their own movements, Kate Millett contribues a novel idea: Think outside yourself and fight for your mother's, or father's - or grandmother's and grandfather's - rights.

Bloomsbury Review You'll argue with Kate Millett as you read along, but only because she's succeeded in making you think. Gay and Lesbian Review
