About this Event
Perfect for anyone looking to expand their understanding of the intersections of racism and sexism, Common Ground Book’s black feminist book club will feature the nonfiction works of radical black feminist authors.
Join us in May for our reading of “Sister Outsider” by Audre Lorde.
"Sister Outsider" is a collection of essential essays and speeches written by Audre Lorde, a writer who focuses on the particulars of her identity: Black woman, lesbian, poet, activist, cancer survivor, mother, and feminist. This collection, now considered a classic volume of Lorde's most influential works of non-fiction prose, has had a groundbreaking impact in the development of contemporary feminist theories. In fifteen essays and speeches dating from 1976 to 1984, Lorde explores the complexities of intersectional identity, while explicitly drawing from her personal experiences of oppression to include sexism, heterosexism, racism, homophobia, classism, and ageism.
