Intersectionality Through Feminist and Historical Perspectives

This essay explores the idea of intersectionality, which is used by feminists to describe the ways in which women can be in multiple spheres of oppression. It begins by exploring Audre Lorde’s vision of intersectional feminism, as expressed in her essay “The Master’s Tools…”, and looks at intersectionality through other feminist authors as well as historical examples, such as the Occupy Wall Street movement and the writings and ideas of Emma Goldman.
