Considering its recent prominence, it s surprising to realize that the term [intersectionality] has been around only since 1989: It was coined by legal scholar and critical theorist Kimberle Crenshaw." A thought-provoking set of essays showing how contemporary Marxist-Feminist theory is vitally relevant for the crucial feminist questions of today, from gender oppression to care work to facing environmental crisis. Recommended reading for all scholars engaged in thinking deeply on how to change the world. Over the past twenty years the concept of "intersectionality," first coined by scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw, has emerged as an influential approach to understanding discrimination and exclusion in our society, whose members can experience bias in multiple ways—as a consequence of race, gender, sexual orientation, or a combination of these. And as the Washington Postreported recently, "the term has been used by social activists as both a rallying cry for more expansive progressive movements and a chastisement for their limitations." As a new wave of activism seeks to challenge entrenched discrimination in America, few concepts have acquired such relevance or been so widely debated. It's now been over two decades since legal scholar Kimberle Crenshaw wrote her original paper coining the term 'intersectionality' and mainstream feminism is still in the throes of a massive storm around it."
