Audre Lorde, Black Lesbian Feminist Mother Poet Warrior, was a Librarian

As an African American former librarian and current Library and Information Studies professor, I was excited to discover that Audre Lorde, a lesbian and gay rights, civil rights, and gay rights activist was a librarian. I wanted to know more about her life as a librarian and started a research project to understand why she became a librarian, why she left the field, and what if any impact it had on her later activism.
