pickAn extremely compelling collection of poems, essays and speeches that tackle themes of racism and feminism. It will make you emotional and engaged with multiple issues that you and the author possibly have in common. It‘s an incredibly empowering book that, especially in Lourde‘s writing, manages to grasp the honest and intellectual issues of society. Despite not being the primary audience for the book, the writing is incredibly inspiring.
Vacation reads in Nicaragua! Nothing like some feminist lit to help you relax and decompress 😂
pickThis was an incredible read. The preface by Reni Eddo-Lodge was beautiful and I‘m grateful for the opportunity to read Lorde‘s collected works. So much of her writing was educational for me and so much spoke to shared struggles (“Why keep yelling when no one is listening? Does my voice matter? How do I use my anger without it burning me alive?”). I‘m looking forward to rereading this over the years.
So i had the craziest brain wave this morning to turn all my books around and here my shelves.
I realised I was only picking popular books and ones I just bought, which is not good when you have some that have been on the shelf for nearly 10 years.
So now I have to read random and I love it.
But first finish my library books I have 2 on the go.
What do you think? Happy reading💝📚

In a society where the good is defined in terms of profit rather than in terms of human need, there must always be some group of people who, through systematised oppression, can be made to feel surplus, to occupy the space of the dehumanised inferior.
