Feminist Writings

Feeling guilty about some of the  fluffier books I read last year, I Googled ‘best feminist books’. Sister Outsider was on the list. Audre Lourde (1934 – 1992), in her own words, was a "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet." She writes about all these things and more in this powerful and readable collection of 15 essays and speeches mostly from the 1970s and 80s. Her thoughts on racism stood out for me and made me wonder how far, really, have we come?
