When Will the Feminist Movement Become Intersectional?
White feminism focuses on achieving white female equality at the expense of women of color. Although many may consider it an issue of the past, white feminism is extremely visible today through its modern incarnation of the “girlboss”, which focuses on female empowerment through capitalist means and disregards the needs of lower-income women of color. In order to understand how the feminist movement can become more inclusive, we need to look back at both the history of the feminist movement and Black women’s historical crusades.
