Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex: A Black Feminist Critique of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory and Antiracist Politics
Kimberlé Crenshaw •
This foundational paper introduces the concept of intersectionality through a Black feminist critique of antidiscrimination law, feminist theory, and antiracist politics. Crenshaw argues that the single-axis framework used in legal and political discourse marginalizes Black women by failing to account for the compound nature of race and gender discrimination.
