Inspiring and Beautiful

Very good book

Never have I read a work that has spoken to me on a must intimate level- a book that secures my place at the 'table', my voice to be heard and my belief that I am worthy of love. I am not a woman of color though I feel a great solidarity in reading this. It is like the warm blanket that makes one feel they are familia. After reading Assata, Bell hooks, Chris Hedges... this book takes all the theory, all the calls to action, all the frustration and folds the disenfranchised voices within its poetic pages.

This book is an unique gathering of voices from radical women who speak not in academic or expertise terms of what it is to be a woman and to be a marginalized body and how those two identities mix. A great first read to understand feminism but also a must read simply in women's stories and voices.

Great collection

I purchased this for a class and I’m so glad that I didn’t rent it. Moraga md Anzualda have put together an incredible anthology of stories and poems documenting the lives of women of color - particularly queer women of color. The book really sheds a light on the intersectionality that, even though I’m trans, I could never experience first hand because I am white sand pass as a cisgender makes. The text has given me a great perspective as I move forward in my studies.
