Audre Lorde's 'Sister Outcast' is a foundational text for Black and intersectional feminism. The fifteen essays and speeches in this collection explore how to navigate multiple oppressions, how to see differences as creative rather than threatening, and how to act despite despair and fear. Lorde draws on her own experiences and articulates her truth as an antidote to the distortions engendered by sexism, racism, and other forms of oppression. Combining poetic expressiveness with activist passion, she creates a theory for living—a tool designed to help us resist hatred and violence, unite across differences, and work together for a more humane future for all. Audre Lorde (1934–1992) was a writer, thinker, and activist, one of the most iconic figures of the American feminist movement.
