kristan poirot, author of "mediating a movement, authorizing discourse", says that the release of millett's "sexual politics" (1970) was a pivotal event in the second wave of the feminist movement. although there were other important moments in the movement, like the founding of the national organization for women and release of "the feminine mystique" by betty friedan, it was in 1970 that the media gave greater attention to the feminist movement, first with a front page article in "the new york times" and coverage on the three network's news programs about the women's strike for equality event that summer. millett used psychology, anthropology, the sexual revolution, and literary criticism to explain her theory of sexual politics, which is that western societies have been driven by a belief that men are superior to women. according to poirot, the book, which received widespread media coverage, "was considered to be the first book-length exposition of second wave radical feminist theory." published accounts of millett's lesbianism played a part in the fracture in the feminist movement over lesbians' role within the movement and reduced her effectiveness as a women's rights activist.
