More From Audre Lorde
- "Black women are programmed to define ourselves within this male attention and to compete with each other for it rather than to recognize and move upon our common interests."
- "The failure of academic feminists to recognize difference as a crucial strength is a failure to reach beyond the first patriarchal lesson. In our world, divide and conquer must become define and empower."
- "There’s always someone asking you to underline one piece of yourself – whether it’s Black, woman, mother, dyke, teacher, etc. – because that’s the piece that they need to key in to. They want to dismiss everything else."
