Intersectionality
As Audre Lorde once wrote, "There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives." Similiarly, there is no such thing as a single-issue image. Most images can be read as depicting the intersection of multiple issues or multiple dimensions of inequality (e.g., race, class, & gender). While all images may be truly intersectional, this album surveys images, which explicitly mention intersectionality theory and intersectional analyses of the social world.

What is Intersectionality in Feminism? "The view that women experience oppression in varying configurations and in varying degrees of inensity. Cultural patterns of oppression are not only interrelated, but are bound together and influence by the intersectional systems of society." ~ Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, 1989
"When feminism does not explicitly oppose racism, and when antiracism does not incorporate opposition to patriarchy, race and gender politics often end up being antagonistic to each other and both interests lose." "If we aren't interesectional, so of us, the most vulnerable, are going to fall through the cracks." ~ Kimberle Crenshaw

"My feminism is a question. And the question is - 'What truths are missing here?' So in that sense, my truth is always intersectional - because intersectional feminism is always asking what truths are missing here, what voices aren't heard here, who isn't at the table you don't even realize is not at the table." ~ Melissa Harris-Perry #MyFeminismIs
