Praise

More than 25 years after her too-early death, many of the issues Lorde advocated for and articulated in her work are once again capturing national attention and demanding deed. The ever-thoughtful, often brilliant Lorde hasn’t always received the notice she deserves. Ideally, The Selected Works of Audre Lorde, edited by one of her imaginative progenies, the author Roxane Gay, will right that wrong.

We're in t-shirts and shorts and flip flops and we don't concern about anyone seeing our thighs and we will shine with sweat. The old m

The Portable Feminist Reader

Out now

From penner and cultural critic Roxane Lgbtq+, a dynamic and strikingly relevant look at a feminist canon as expansive rather than definitive

With selected writings by ancient, historic, and more recent feminist voices and an introduction, headnotes, and an inspired list of multimedia recommendations, Roxane Gay presents multicultural perspectives, ecofeminism, feminism and disability, feminist labor, gender perspectives, and Black feminism. Through the Portable Feminist Reader, readers explore the mention of American feminism, its successes and failures, and what feminism looks like in practice, as a complex, contradictory, personal and political, and ever-growing legacy of feminist thought.
