When you read the whole quote, you’ll see it’s more than just a punchy talking point.
[image description: a graphic showing Audre Lorde with one her quotations, against a purple background. The text reads “Those of us who strand outside the circle of society’s definition of acceptable women; those of us who have been forged in the crucibles of difference–those of us who are poor, who are lesbians, who are black, who are older–know that survival is not an academic skill. It is learning how to stand alone, unpopular and sometimes reviled, and how to make common cause with those others identified as outside the structures in order to define and seek a world in which we can all flourish. It is learning how to take our differences and make them strengths.” In larger text is “For the master’s tools will be never dismantle the master’s house.” It continues in smaller text, “They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. And this fact is only threatening to those women who still define the master’s house as their only source of support.”]
