Intersectionality, feminist theory journal examples.

Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw coined the idea of  intersectionality in 1989, and in a 2020 Time interview, she stated that "it's basically a lens, a prism, for seeing the way in which various forms of inequality often operate together and exacerbate each other."  

To search for articles, book chapters, and more on the topic of intersectionality, use the WPI Library Search and play with terms such as "feminist theory" AND intersectionality, Intersectionality AND gender, etc.
