Presenting the essential writings of black lesbian poet and feminist writer Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider celebrates an influential voice in 20th-century literature. In this charged collection of 15 essays and speeches, Lorde takes on sexism, racism, ageism, homophobia, and class and propounds social difference as a vehicle for action and change. Her prose is incisive, unflinching, and lyrical, reflecting struggle but ultimately offering messages of hope.

This commemorative edition includes a new foreword by Lorde scholar and poet Cheryl Clarke, who celebrates the ways in which Lorde's philosophies resonate more than 20 years after they were first published.

Featured Article: The Audiobooks I Wish I Had Listened to Sooner (As a Late-Blooming Lesbian)


Not all of these audiobooks are centered around coming out, but they all lend themselves to self-reflection and to ultimately closing the chasm between the person as is and the person self-actualized, standing in their truth. If you are questioning your sexuality or place in the world, know that you are not, and never will be, alone. These listens will bring you solace, companionship along the way, and a newfound closeness to your most authentic self.

Audre Lorde was an incredible writer, speaker, and poet. I was horribly disappointed to find that the robotic narration watered down the passion of Lorde’s theory. I would finish chapter after chapter realizing I wasn’t able to engage and had therefore forgotten what was said. It is also ironic a text about Black struggle was read by a person who couldn’t be bothered to learn the proper pronunciation of several African cities, gods, names, and even the name of the author herself. Just get a physical copy. You might absorb more.

Narration Weak, Just Get a Physical Copt
