The Cancer Journals by Audre Lorde

3.0

This work really emphasizes and combats the silence that exists in so many areas of our lives. It addresses the pain of cancer and how to deal with it to have power and overcome. Audre Lorde along with providing an account of her own life and position as "black lesbian feminist warrior poet" reaches out to women all over to help them gain insight into the power which they can have. She speaks of acceptance and of what can be done in order to improve many of the systems of power that our society places on us. A provocative and healing read that is full of the insight and wisdom that Audre Lorde represents.
