Sarah Fonseca

Autostraddle

Sighted Eyes/Feeling Heart, fourteen years in the making, is a great example of a work that thoughtfully and creatively layers ideas about gender and sexuality alongside race.

World Socialist Web Site

Tracy Heather Strain's Sighted Eyes/Feeling Heart provides a valuable examination of a remarkable, courageous woman who fought against the existing social order on the grounds that "an oppressive society oppresses everyone."

Sighted Eyes is meticulously researched, well assembled, and has most of the appropriate expert commentary.

Black Girl Nerds

The story of Lorraine Hansberry told in this way, reminded me of how there are so many stories, "Hidden Figures" stories if you will, of Black women in history that we know so little about.

Rated: 5/5
