Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde

I found this book to be incredibly interesting and eye opening. She presents her unique perspective in a very touching way. My favorite chapter was “Eye to Eye”: Black Women, Hatred, and Anger.” It was really thoughtfully written to present the concept of identity and solidarity (or lack thereof) amongst Black women. This chapter seemed to be written in a different style. She began by presenting the facts and then providing illustrative examples from her own life to frame these facts. As the chapter continued, her writing style became much less calculated and more fluid to represent the strong emotions that she felt. I also liked how she treated the topic of her anger and the idea of suffering to explain how she felt. She is clearly a very strong and intelligent woman and I felt like her writing really speaks to her readers. Lorde seems to be reaching out and allowing us to experience another unique perspective. I also liked her representation of society and motherhood given from her perspective.
