Audre Lorde’s experience correlates with the paradigms that have shifted in lesbian and feminist movements. In fact, naming and recognizing the difference, as well as acknowledging racial, class, and gender differences, is crucial for accepting the self and positioning in the world. Lorde recognizes herself as a black lesbian woman who has found her own language in which she can express her identity and the self. Acceptance of a newly emerged reality gave rise to differentiation providing the “poet warrior” with visibility of her own freedom and separateness. In this respect, Lorde has managed to find her unique path in life and prioritize the core values in life. I believe that the identity development has created a new, unique lens through which Lorde can view her position in the world. More importantly, a self defined “black, lesbian, feminist, mother, poet warrior” has introduce the theory of difference as the necessity of celebrating the existence of multiple identifies disapproving American equality movements. While returning to A, development of Lorde’s identities was marked by several notable events, or stages. Her gradual transformation as a personality, as well as realization of the self, provides references to her childhood, student years, and adulthood. From the first pages of the book, I have noticed the author’s reluctance to speak of racial and gender difference. Absence of differences, therefore, exterminates the possibility of racial discrimination and fear of being criticized. Rejecting the fact “that difference did not in fact exist”, the poet found no words for defining this phenomenon as she was maturing (Lorde 204). However, can ignorance generate the truth? I believe the answer is predicted because invisible differences give rise to blurred identities and lack of separateness. Hence, when Lorde formed love affairs and friendships within the lesbian community, she was forced to deny the parts of the self because “it was easy for even lovers to ignore it, dismiss it, pretend it didn’t exist, believe the fallacy that there was no difference” (Lorde 204). The difficulty of acknowledging difference is closely associated with the necessity to name and highlight new concepts of acceptance. Possibility to recognize differences is imperative for establishing the positions in the world. I agree with the idea that differentiation and visibility, along with freedom and separation, provides people with an opportunity to make themselves visible. Therefore, Lorde’s longing to self-definition helped her feel visible and accepted. By attributing new definitions and meanings to words, she states, “As I spoke the words, I felt them touch and give life to a new reality within me, some half-known self come of age” (Lorde 167). Apparently, due to the appearance of a new dimension, the poet started searching for a unique way of reinventing her personal story. The re-evaluation of life position can be noticed in the passage when she considers her position “different from the larger society, as well as from any single sub-society-Black or gay” (Lorde 181). I believe that each person should feel unique through defining life goals and identifying his/her role in the community. Perhaps, Lorde’
