Adrienne Rich 
On Lies, Secrets, and Silence: Selected Prose 1966-1978 [EPUB ebook] 

In this collection of prose writings, one of America’s foremost poets and feminist theorists reflects upon themes that have shaped her life and work.

At issue are the politics of language; the uses of scholarship; and the topics of racism, history, and motherhood among others called forth by Rich as ‘part of the effort to define a female consciousness which is political, aesthetic, and erotic, and which refuses to be included or contained in the culture of passivity.’
