Intersectionality

Intersectionality is an analytical framework for understanding how aspects of a person's social and political identities combine to create different modes of discrimination and privilege.  It was coined in 1989 by Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw to describe how gender, caste, sex, race, class, sexuality, religion, disability, physical appearance, and other individual characteristics “intersect” with one another and overlap.
