Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches - Signed copy

Crossing Press, New York, 1984. First edition paperback in well-used condition. Creasing to corners. Internally there is heavy age toning and some foxing to the first page which is the pre-title page. Also to the inside of the covers and to the page edges. Occasional markings in pencil throughout. There is a dedication to Anaria on the pre-title page, signed by the author.

In this charged collection of fifteen 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.
