Sister Outsider is a foundational work of black, lesbian activism. There were several of the essays that I marinated in for days. So much power, so much insight. So much for me to sit with and learn.
On the road of eye-openers is, of course, Sister Outsider. From one step to another, I try to figure out what to do and how this feminist perspective works and yet how it works for other ethnicities than just my own. I am afraid to say that it should be different than it really is and that might make it even sadder.
But the future is now or at least that's what I think and that makes it up to us (nothing about generations but just people alive) to change this perspective, to not be blind and to not see something that 'isn't there', eye-openers.
But back to the book, I heard so much about Audre Lorde through the other books and interviews that I read that it was a perfect next step on the road and I am glad I read it. Her writing style is soothing, painfully honest and wonderful at the same time and that makes it a great one on the list of eye-openers. The essays were clear in title and meaning and that made it easy to understand her point and sometimes feel the joy of heartache depending on what she was describing or well, telling.
I don't have a particular one that I liked best, from the essays, I liked them all in a neutral and normal way, nothing spectacular outstanding but that doesn't make it bad, I did enjoy it.
Now to find the next book on my road.

So true. I see why it's called "sister outsider" and that's so real

Still processing but the biggest thing that struck me was how we are dealing with the same problems today that Audre Lorde was writing about 35 years ago. Why don't we listen to black women?
