The Colored Pages Book Club

Hey frenssss! The Summer Short Series rages on as we dive into some poetry this week with a special ~comparative literature~ themed episode. We explicate Audre Lorde's poem, "A Woman Speaks", and Sojourner Truth's iconic speech, "Ain't I a Woman?", and compare the energies, magic, and themes between the two. So enjoy yourselves as we discuss our histories with poetry, the expansiveness of womanhood, and all the things in between!
