This article explores Audre Lorde’s feminist theory with critical foci on her lesbian parenting and epistemology, both of which have been barely discussed in the study of Lorde. Re-reading Lorde’s 1984 book, Sister Outsider, and I Am Your Sister which is posthumously published in 2011, I discuss how Lorde elaborates her queer vision as a black lesbian mother and how central Lorde’s position as such is to her theoretical production of feminist knowledge. I argue that Lorde’s feminism exemplifies a pioneering queer epistemology, and thereby remind that queer women of color such as Lorde have been solid contributions to queer theory. As a black queer feminist, she provides a radical queer epistemology that takes feeling and the erotic as the alternative sources of making true knowledge about ourselves and the world.
