Non-monogamy in Audre Lorde’s Zami

“Muriel and I decided that nothing could break the bonds between us, certainly not the sharing of our bodies and our joys with another woman whom we had come to love also. Our taking of Lynn to our bed became, not merely a fact to be integrated into our living, but a test for each one of us of our love and our openness. It was a beautiful vision, but a very difficult experiment.”
