Coup de coeur
(Gender Studies), by Lily
If you are studying FEMINIST or GENDER STUDIES Audre Lorde is an essential read. Shell likely come up in your assigned readings anyway, so why not get a head start on some of her most iconic essays and wow the class when the time comes? I read her essay The Masters Tools Will Never Dismantle the Masters House (featured in Sister Outsider) in a first year gender studies class and still think about it probably daily. Lorde wrote with a skillful succinctness that is hard to come by in gender and feminist studies.
The woman's place of power within each of us is neither white nor surface; it is dark, it is ancient, and it is deep
The revolutionary writings of Audre Lorde gave voice to those 'outside the circle of this society's definition of acceptable women'. Uncompromising, angry and yet full of hope, this collection of her essential prose - essays, speeches, letters, interviews - explores race, sexuality, poetry, friendship, the erotic and the need for female solidarity, and includes her landmark piece 'The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House'.
'The truth of her writing is as necessary today as it's ever been' Guardian
