CatherineMillet has bosoms that, as she has said herself, are not 'resplendent'.
Millet could easily be viewed as a post-fem player, much needed on a field cluttered with Bridget Jones clones, narcissistic una-woman celebrities and idiotic chick-lit types who have created a repressive atmosphere where women never see romance for the lust that it is, where questions are no longer asked and progressive political thought is nonexistent.
Millet had not launched herself from a feminist or political springboard, and her book may well fit into Barthes's 'author is dead' notion where the reader is the creator of meanings.
Catherine abandoned her reading of a Hemingway novel when she discovered that the heroine has multiple lovers, and she reacted with hostility to an atypical confidence from her mother, who casually remarked one day that she had slept with seven men.
To be clear: Catherine M. began at the age of 18 to have sex with multiple partners when her first lover suggested it, and has continued to make herself available to groups either at private encounters or in public places, as arranged by her current lover.
Millet is for the most part aware of the pitfalls of her tendency toward submission, describing the expansion of her own repertoire for sexual satisfaction over time, and her happy discovery of successful self-pleasure.
