Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches by Audre Lorde

5.0

---

It took me so long to read this barely-200-page-long-book for two reasons: first of all, and most importantly, exhaustion from work causing lack of motivation and concentration and second of all, I couldn't read too much of it at once because all of the essays are so interesting and thought provoking in so many different ways. I found that I was not able to read more than one or two essays in one sitting (or just one if it was a big one).  I had to really sit with them for awhile. Anyway this is my first Audre Lorde and I need more!!!
