Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches
by Audre Lorde
challenging
informative
inspiring
reflective
medium-paced
Sister Outsider is a beautiful collection of essays and was my first introduction to Audre Lorde. The unfortunate paradox of reading classics (even modern classics) is that, even if fresh at the time of writing, the best ideas presented in the book feel overly familiar. Therefore, while the writing was excellent, certain portions felt repetitive and I struggled to remain engaged with the text.
Recommended if you're interested in intersectional feminist theory, travel stories, and reflections at the intersection of personal and political. As always, my rating reflects my personal enjoyment of the book as opposed to its literary merit - 2.75 stars on SG, rounded up to 3 on GR.
