»Flying«, neben »Sita« Kate Milletts persönlichstes Buch, ist eine sehr genaue Beschreibung der ersten Jahre der Frauenbewegung und zugleich ein Stück Autobiographie einer ihrer aktivsten führenden Figuren. Kate Millett erinnert sich an ihre Kindheit, ihre Reisen, an ihre Ehe mit dem japanischen Bildhauer Fumio Yoshimura, ihre Schwierigkeiten, eine Identität zu finden als Künstlerin, zu entscheiden zwischen ihren Talenten als Bildhauerin, Schriftstellerin, Filmemacherin. Sie schildert ihren Weg in der Frauenbewegung, ihre Vereinnahmung nach dem internationalen Erfolg von »Sexus und Herrschaft« und die Schmähung nach ihrem öffentlichen Bekenntnis zur Homosexualität. Ihr leidenschaftliches Plädoyer gegen Monogamie, gegen einseitig festgelegte Geschlechterbeziehung kam für die Mehrheit der Frauen zu früh; sie fürchteten Diskriminierung von außen und Spaltung innerhalb der Bewegung.
