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'.

'The truth of her writing is as necessary today as it's ever been' Guardian

"Sister Outsider" is a seminal work that should be required reading for anyone interested in the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality. Audre Lorde's wisdom and eloquence shine through every page, leaving an indelible mark on ones consciousness. This collection is a powerful testament to the enduring importance of advocating for justice, equality, and human dignity.
