2. What is Intersectional Feminism?
Intersectional feminism is a theoretical approach used to approach topics in a nuanced way as a
way of fleshing out the ways in which multiples systems are enacted on an individual at any given
moment.
Intersectional feminism does not mean that we can always chart our intersections. In trying to
chart identity, it freeze frames an individual in a moment, but that person is an ever-changing
individual.
