On Intersectionality by Kimberle Crenshaw
This work introduces and elaborates the concept of intersectionality, arguing that race, gender, class, and other identities interact to produce unique forms of discrimination that single-axis legal and policy frameworks routinely miss; using legal cases, policy analysis, and the stories of women of color, it demonstrates how law and institutions erase compound harms and leave some people unprotected. It critiques dominant legal doctrines and identity politics for flattening complex power relations, and calls for methodological and doctrinal changes in law, scholarship, and activism so remedies, representation, and analysis can account for overlapping systems of oppression.
