About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

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'.

Eases you in with a soft, gentle travelogue before a dive bomb into powerful (and intersectional) race and feminism critique. I loved every minute.

A masterclass

Well narrated,& loved the personal accounts which as a poc I can relate to. Recommend you to hear this especially around problems with feminism and misogyny experienced differently.
