Writers read from the poems, essays and personal narratives they contributed to this remarkable anthology. This Bridge Called My Back launched new perspectives on identity, its complications and contradictions – especially for feminist women of color. The book and the cultural conversation it opened helped establish third wave feminism and intersectionality.
This program features Cherrié Moraga, one of the book’s editors, and eight writers: Nellie Wong, Merle Woo, Aurora Levins Morales, Barbara Cameron, Judit Moscowitz, Andrea Canaan, and Barbara & Beverly Smith.
