The term intersectionality was first used by a brilliant writer, feminist and critical theorist named Kimberle Crenshaw, years after the Harlem Renaissance. Crenshaw while addressing a unique case that involved a Black women brought to light the unique circumstances that women of color face. She argues that the intersection of the many aspects of their identity such as race, gender, political standing, economic standing, and social class, should all be taken into consideration as they differ from those of a white woman.
