What is intersectional feminism?
"Intersectional feminism" is much more than the latest feminist
buzzword. It is a decades-old term many feminists use to explain how the
feminist movement can be more diverse and inclusive.
If feminism is advocating for women's rights and equality between the sexes, intersectional feminism is the understanding of how women's overlapping identities — including race, class, ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation — impact the way they experience oppression and discrimination. A white woman is penalized by her gender but has the advantage of race. A black woman is disadvantaged by her gender and her race. A Latina lesbian experiences discrimination because of her ethnicity, her gender and her sexual orientation.
“This continued blindness between us can only serve the oppressive system
within which we live.”
