Between 20, she won the Lambda Pioneer Award for Literature, received Yoko Ono's Courage Award for the Arts, and was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. Some of her later written works are The Politics of Cruelty (1994), about state-sanctioned torture in many countries, and Mother Millett (2001), a book about her relationship with her mother. In the 1960s and 1970s, Millett taught at Waseda University, Bryn Mawr College, Barnard College, and the University of California, Berkeley. Her books were motivated by her activism, such as woman's rights and mental health reform, and several were autobiographical memoirs that explored her sexuality, mental health, and relationships. The feminist, human rights, peace, civil rights, and anti-psychiatry movements were some of Millett's principal causes. Journalist Liza Featherstone attributes the attainment of previously unimaginable 'legal abortion, greater professional equality between the sexes, and a sexual freedom' in part to Millett's efforts. She has been described as 'a seminal influence on second-wave feminism', and is best known for her book Sexual Politics (1970), which was based on her doctoral dissertation at Columbia University. She attended the University of Oxford and was the first American woman to be awarded a degree with first-class honors after studying at St Hilda's College, Oxford. Katherine Murray Millett (Septem– September 6, 2017) was an American feminist writer, educator, artist, and activist.
