Audre was a key figure in the creation of the mobilizing of Black feminism as a political theory and practice. If you are familiar with her books, I particularly think of Sister Outsider, her book of essays. You will see that she was definitely making significant contributions as well as of course in her poetry, to what do we think of—what do we mean when we say we’re Black feminists? What are Black feminist concerns? As I said, she played a pivotal role in the building of Black feminism in the United States.
