The doodle that stands out on the Google homepage today, on the occasion of the anniversary of her birth, which took place on 18 February 1934 in New York, is dedicated to the poet Audre Lorde.
Lorde called herself "a black poet, lesbian, mother and warrior".
In 1968 his first collection, The First Cities, was released.
In her poems, Lorde addressed issues of social and racial justice, but also spoke of sexuality. In the 1960s she became one of the key figures in the struggle for civil rights and against racial and sexual discrimination in the United States.
Among his fundamental texts, Thus I rewrite my name (Ets), the collection Of love and struggle (Le Lettere) and the still unpublished in Italy Sister Outsider.
She died of cancer at the age of 58 in 1992.
