Intersectionality is a way of understanding how multiple identities a person holds – including but not limited to race, gender, religion, class, and age – can impact them or the demographic groups they belong to within society. The term was first coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in her 1989 article for the University of Chicago Legal Forum titled “Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex: A Black Feminist Critique of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory and Antiracist Politics.”
