Sister Outsider
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
Perhaps Lorde’s best known work, Sister Outsider is a collection of prose exploring exploring race, sexuality, poetry, friendship, the erotic and the need for female solidarity.
