An essential feminist work. I think I would feel more passionately about it if I shared some of Lorde's identity and struggle beyond being a woman. BUT is that not essential to much fo what she argues? That our power is in bonding over our differences rather than letting them divide us?

There are some really powerful essays in here; Lorde's establishment as a black, queer, feminist tour-de-force of her time and years to come is undeniable.
