Sister Outsider

Celebrate the resounding voice of black lesbian poet and feminist writer Audre Lorde through this charged collection of fifteen essays and speeches. Tackling sexism, racism, ageism, homophobia, and class through incisive, unflinching, and lyrical prose, Sister Outsider proposes social difference as a key to action and change. This commemorative edition includes a new foreword by Lorde scholar and poet Cheryl Clarke, highlighting the enduring relevance of her brave philosophies today. A writer, activist, and mother of two, Lorde's writing offers messages of hope in the face of struggle, urging us to never close our eyes to the terror and chaos of the rejected and the messy.
