Black Feminist Theory

Black Feminist Theory is a framework that examines the intersections of race, gender, and class, highlighting the unique experiences of Black women. It challenges mainstream feminist views that often overlook the specific struggles faced by women of color. This theory emphasizes the importance of understanding how systemic oppression, such as racism and sexism, overlaps and affects Black women's lives. Contributors like bell hooks and Kimberlé Crenshaw advocate for social justice that addresses these intersecting identities, aiming for a more inclusive and equitable society where all voices are heard and valued.
