I marked several passages from each essay, so I wish I could share so many of them in this review, but for the sake of brevity, first, an iconic passage about how we must stand in solidarity with everyone who faces oppression, not just those who look like us: I knew about halfway through reading this book that it would serve as one of my absolute favorite reads and feminist works of all time. In this stunning collection of essays and speeches, she addresses the sheer necessity of intersectional feminism and supporting women of color, the importance of using our voices to speak up against injustice, the horrors inflicted by US imperialism and capitalism, and more. Audre Lorde's brilliant, powerful, love-filled writing literally brought me to tears in a local Panera Bread. If you care about feminism, social justice, or making the world a better place in any way at all, you must read this book.
