Intersectional feminism recognises that certain groups of pope have multi-layered facets in life that they have to deal with, such as racism and sexism.
*Intersectionality is a term that was created by American professor Kimberly Crenshaw in 1989.
The textbook definition states: "The view that women experience oppression in varying configurations and in varying degrees of intensity. Cultural patterns of oppression are not only interrelated, but are bound together and influenced by the intersectional systems of society. Examples of this include race, gender, class, ability and ethnicity "
In other words, certain groups of women have multi-layered facets in life that they have to deal with. For example, "black woman is perhaps faced with racism and sexism in everyday life."
*The main thing intersectionality is trying to do, is to point out that feminism which is overly white, middle-class, and able-bodied represents one type of view- and doesn't reflect on the experiences of all the multi-layered facets in life that women of all backgrounds face.
