''Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches'' is a collection of essays and speeches by Audre Lorde, black lesbian poet and feminist writer. The book is considered a classic volume of Lorde's most influential works of non-fiction prose and has been groundbreaking and formative in the development of contemporary feminist theories. In fifteen essays and speeches dating from 1976 to 1984,〔 Lorde explores the complexities of intersectional identity, drawing from her personal experiences with oppression, including sexism, heterosexism, racism, homophobia, classism, and ageism.〔〔 The book examines a broad range of topics, including love, war, imperialism, police brutality, coalition building, violence against women, Black feminism, and movements towards equality. Lorde's distrust for and internalization of the widespread system of dominant values within the United States is apparent throughout the collection. The work is considered controversial as Lorde expresses unapologetic anger at the injustices of society.〔 The essays in this collection are extensively taught and have become a popular subject of academic analysis.〔 Lorde's theorizing of oppressions as complex and interlocking within the collection are considered a significant contribution to critical social theory.〔 == Themes == The oxymoron within the title "Sister Outsider" expresses Lorde's assertion that her identity as a Black, woman, lesbian, mother of a daughter and a son, poet, and partner in a racially mixed relationship provides her a unique vision as both a sister and an outsider, which can be used as a catalyst for change.〔 The title demonstrates Lorde's embrace of claiming a difficult identity. Throughout the fifteen essays and speeches of Sister Outsider, Lorde challenges sexism, racism, ageism, homophobia, and class. She asserts difference as a dynamic force and means of empowerment〔 that should be recognized and used for creative change.〔 Within Sister Outsider, Lorde suggests that her analysis of the concept of difference be applied to the next stage of feminism, in response to the lack of acknowledgement of differences between women that has occurred within the mainstream feminist movement.〔 Lorde also explores the fear and hatred that can arise among African American men and women, lesbians, feminists, and white women as well as the isolation that African American women experiences and consequential distrust and lack of friendship that can follow.
