Yeah. That’s why the Statement of the Combahee River Colective was of such world-shaking importance. The concept of intersectionality had always been bouncing around in some sense but the Combahee River Colective made it a concrete part of theory and started us exploring and codifying the concept.

Thanks for the link. Right now I have a splitting headache so I’ll have to read it in full later, but the opening statement is fascinating.

It’s good stuff. Even fifty years later it’s still so important.
