Recenzii
Lorde's
big
heart
and
fierce
mind
are
at
full
strength
on
each
page
of
this
deeply
personal
and
deeply
political
collection...
A
raw
reckoning
with
illness
and
death
as
well
as
a
challenge
to
the
conventional
expectations
of
women
with
cancer.
More
universally,
Lorde's
rage
and
the
clarity
that
follows
offer
us
a
blueprint
for
facing
our
mortality
and
living
boldly
in
the
time
we
have.
This
empowering
compilation
isheartbreaking,
beautiful,
and
timeless.
Radiates with rebellion, even decades later... she is both brave and right. Embracing her one-breasted self, Lorde refuses to render invisible her difference and the experience of pain that is somehow embarrassing to others... There is inspiration in Lorde's position, for me and for all women who have spent time in doctors' offices and surgeries... Making my way through the book's pages, I found a different model of feminist power - not a sidestepping of sickness, but a defiant avowal of the reality of pain and respect for the transformed self it leaves behind
