This essay reads Angelina Weld Grimke ́'s story, “The Closing Door,” (1919) as a literary performance that queers racial reproduction in several ways. The reading focuses on the text's complicated rhetoric, its strategic use of the aural and architectural trope of the door, and its entanglement of the racialized and sexualized discourses of female homoeroticism, lynching, and infanticide
