Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches by Audre Lorde

5.0

Sister outsider was the book that I needed to read in my teens. It was great as an introduction to Audre Lorde’s work. Discussing anti-Blackness outside the US is so hard to find, and hearing their account of living in Russia as a Black Lesbian was VERY interesting.

The book continues on to discuss how their sexuality was accepted (or wasn’t) in the US, and who continues to feel threatened by Women loving Women. Will read again, and I know I’ll enjoy it the second, third, 10th time
