Society & Culture
From the beginning of her life, Audre Lorde challenged standard meanings of what it meant to be a woman, what it meant to be a lover, what it meant to be black, and what it meant to be a poet. But she also challenged the standard meanings of words, changing her vocabulary to change the context in which she spoke. In this episode, the finale of our trilogy, we discuss Lorde's nonfiction work and essays and how she questioned commonly understood concepts to advocate for social change. * Official Canon Fire Website: www.canonfirepodcast.com/ Banner designed by Brittany Baril.
