REVIEW: The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House (Audre Lorde)

Book: The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House

Author: Audre Lorde

Premise: From the self-described 'black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet', these soaring, urgent essays on the power of women, poetry and anger are filled with darkness and light.

This small book contains 5 amazing essays, covering female empowerment, the importance of intersectional feminism and rallying for change. After each essay, I just had to collect my thoughts on a post-it and stick it in the book. Everything she says is still relevant today and shifted my perception on a few things. An excellent flavour of Audre Lorde's work - I'll definitely be on the look out for more! 

My favourite quote: "The white fathers told us: I think, therefore I am. The black goddess within each of us - the poet - whispers in our dreams: I feel, therefore I can be free."
