Audre Lorde Reads "Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power"
By Audre Lorde
Audre Lorde reads her historical and powerful essay, in which she defines the power of the erotic, names the process by which women have been stripped of this power, and considers how women can reclaim it.
The reading took place at the Berkshire Conference on the History of Women held at Mount Holyoke College in August 1978.
