Publisher Description
The woman's place of power within each of us is neither white nor surface; it is dark, it is ancient, and it is deep
The revolutionary writings of Audre Lorde gave voice to those 'outside the circle of this society's definition of acceptable women'. Uncompromising, angry and yet full of hope, this collection of her essential prose - essays, speeches, letters, interviews - explores race, sexuality, poetry, friendship, the erotic and the need for female solidarity, and includes her landmark piece 'The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House'.
'The truth of her writing is as necessary today as it's ever been' Guardian
Customer Reviews
Long but important
I feel some of the essays are far too long and you can get quite bogged down with the reading but overall some crucial points made on race, gender and sexuality. A good read.
Slow burn
Hard to get into, maybe just not my style.
