Women Reading Women Writing

by AnaLouise Keating, Paula Gunn Allen, Gloria E. Anzaldúa

As self-identified lesbians of colour, Paula Gunn Allen, Gloria Anzaldua, and Audre Lorde negotiate diverse sets of personal and professional worlds. This book examines the ways in which these writers, in both their creative and critical work, engage in self-analysis and the construction of alternative myths and representations of women.

this book changed my life, as a two spirit (for those of us who aren't two spirited or are in denial of being two spirit that is the term I use to identify myself as a lesbian woman and if you don't like it then TOUGH #$%^).
