this was really incredible. lorde’s advocacy was so powerful, i found the last section power vs prosthesis really left a mark.

every time I return to this book, I find newer appreciation for the vulnerability and power with which Audre Lorde writes about life, love, death, fear and community. absolutely brilliant and moving.

there are some really good insights into mortality and womanhood, and luckily it puts into clear perspective how far we've gotten in the field of breast cancer the last 45 years, but it didnt really hit me the way other work of hers has
