Intersectionality is a concept that examines how different social identities, such as race, gender, sexuality, and class, intersect and create unique modes of discrimination and privilege. In the context of gender politics, intersectionality highlights that women's experiences and struggles cannot be fully understood without considering the ways in which other identities interact with gender, influencing power dynamics and social inequalities.
The term "intersectionality" was coined by legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. Crenshaw introduced the concept to address the inadequacies of traditional feminist and anti-racist frameworks that often considered gender and race as separate categories of analysis, neglecting how they interconnect and shape the experiences of individuals, particularly women of color.
