The Uses of Anger

Authored by Audre Lorde for "Women's Studies Quarterly", Vol. 9, No.3

This article is a look into how anger is a tool, and a reaction that you should not silence or ignore. Women responding to racism means women responding to anger, the anger of exclusion, of unquestioned privilege, of racial distortions, of silence, ill-use, stereotyping, defensiveness, misnaming, betrayal, and coopting.
