Audre Lorde (1934-1992), born Audrey Geraldine Lorde, was an American professor, philosopher, feminist, civil rights activist, and writer. She described herself as "Black, lesbian, feminist, socialist, mother, warrior, poet" and "dedicated both her life and her creative talent to confronting and addressing injustices of racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia" (The Poetry Foundation). She extensively contributed to intersecting fields of studies, including critical race studies, queer theory, and feminist theory, as well as an examination of class. She was thus also a central figure as an activist in liberation movements, such as the civil rights movements and second to third-wave feminism.
