This took me a few false starts before I finally got through the book. This book was published 40 years ago and the issues surrounding the feminist movement are still very relevant. It’s important to note that lesbians have come a long way since Professor Lorde’s time, but she talks about the Idea that the women’s movement was very anti lesbian. The movement, thanks to her and the rest of the Combahee River Collective has really made the movement more inclusive of queer people and the issues they face as well as the struggles of women of color. I am glad to have read this because I know one thing. The movement has come very far but it still has so far to go when it comes to acknowledging the racism deeply entrenched in the history of the movement for women’s liberation.

An informative collection. Surprisingly, it felt timeless. The points are all extremely poignant and relevant today.

While I was reading this I had the thought that I would need to listen at least twice, the first time to just absorb... there is so much to take in, and the second time to more actively mentally engage with it. I think this will be a favourite of mine for life.

One of the most powerful books I've ever read. It makes me passionate and burn with an even stronger fire, one that tells me to keep believing in the spirit of intersectional feminism, one that told me to keep going, even if the world seems bleak and hopeless, one that told me that every piece of resistance, even on the most microscopical level, matters.
