Intersectionality: argues that black and working-class women's experiences of patriarchy in state, society, and the economy are different from those of white, middle-class women. It highlights the impact of this newer strand of feminism on wider feminist thinking.

Overview

Intersectionality is a framework used within feminist theory to understand how various forms of social inequality—such as race, class, gender, sexuality, and disability—intersect and create unique experiences of oppression and privilege. The concept emphasizes that different aspects of a person's identity cannot be examined in isolation, as they interact to shape their overall experience of power and marginalization.
