Awesome
Lourde led an extraordianary life. Her pain, her fearlesness, her speaking when others were quiet. De Veaux sheds light on a literary icon not only for the lgbt community but Lourde was a leading voice in the early feminist movement. The book came in excellent shape, the seller gave as was promised, no highlighting, great condition book. Its worth snatching up this book is out of print and a real jewel.
