Zami: A New Spelling of My Name: A Biomythography by Audre Lorde

challenging emotional reflective slow-paced

5.0

I wish this was required reading when I was in school. Audre Lorde discusses her life from childhood to about mid-twenties and explores being a queer black woman in the 40s and 50s. Her writing is raw, en capturing her experiences perfectly. She critiques her white queer counteparts and intersectionality (as it existed) in her time. This book deeply considers the experience of being a woman, both in a romantic and friendship sense, and encourages the reader to do the same.
