The Cancer Journals by Audre Lorde
5.0
"If I can look directly at my life and my death without flinching I know there is nothing they can ever do to me again."
I'm so grateful to have read and learnt from Audre. Before reading the Cancer Journals I never would have considered how my gender, sexuality and disability have impacted my cancer experience.
This book is a call to action, it is inspiration to find an internal source of strength, and a reminder that female spaces have a special healing power. Audre's anger and love hover over every page and somehow manage to coexist. I cannot recommend it enough to other cancer patients.
