I just finished reading this for Vancouver Feminist Book Club and it's one of the most thought and feeling-provoking works I've ever read addressing intersectionality. I imagine it will keep me examining my own activism, thought patterns, and emotions around feminism and race for a good while. In particular it got me thinking about whether I ever use the excuse that I don't have enough women of colour blog contributors because I "don't know who to ask" or whether I sit back and wait for women of colour to explain their experiences and perspectives to me instead of trying to educate myself. Sister Outsider is a collection of essays and speeches so I found it a relatively quick read that nonetheless gave big insight into Lorde's work, her poetry and activism. I recommend it even for those who aren't women's studies students or long-term feminist activists - if I had read this years ago I think it would have given me a lot of useful tools that I could already be trying harder to implement.
