Add 20 pp. Lorde, Audre, “Breast Cancer: A Black Lesbian Feminist Experience”
Top In this chapter from The Cancer Journals, Lorde candidly recounts her diagnosis of breast cancer, subsequent mastectomy and the healing process. The pain, physical and emotional, of her changed physical landscape as a woman, the well-intentioned prothesis which denies her blackness, the assumptions of heterosexuality throughout discussions of other survivors underscore subtle reinforcements of homogenous, and thus discriminating, experiences.
